    Default 90 GT super low, bouncy and irritating to drive... what to buy?

    Basically I have a 90 gt thats way too low, and super bouncy; painful to drive over a small stick. Trying to figure out what I need. Was told springs should do the trick, but wondering if anything else should be changed too. Was thinking of >>>THIS<<< Anyone familiar with those? Looking for a decent ride height, but comfortable on the street. Feel free to chime in with stuff youre selling. Thanks. As always, +rep for helpful or funny replies

    That seems like a great price for a complete setup. I cant comment on the ride quality but anything with lowering springs is gonna be kinda stiff, usually that is the point of dropping something down though is a stiffer better handling setup. Put airbags on it, that should smooth it out..

    Coil springs are only a partial fix. Define bouncy, can you go outside the car and push down on the front and back end and does it oscillate fairly easy (no damping, need new f&r struts/shocks). Or is the ride stiff or harsh, and there is not much suspension travel - alot of times when UCA/LCA bushings go bad or if you go to spherical bushings or even polyurethane bushings all around, you feel the road input alot more - that is the tradeoff for going to a stiffer suspension.
    The only way around, is through

    Previous owner put lowering springs and heated em. Very harsh. Might just sell the car, but if I keep it, this will be the first thing changed

    MAKE SURE the rest of your suspension is in good shape. Bushings, upper strut bearings, etc.
    I have those KYB's on my '88. Should be a good match for those springs. Probably better than my Eibach Pro-Lines!!
    I've bought lots of stuff from those guys. It's all been decent.
    I have a pair of NEW "stock" ride height springs for a Fox. I'll let them go for a Hundy, then you can buy the struts from 79Cobra, and save some cash...
