just put some bilstein b4s on front and back. Front feels fine but back is bouncy as hell and i meen like chucking the car up in the air... Been naughty and cut my springs 40mm ones cut two coils off. My guess is my springs are actually absorbing the road instead of my shocks. Because ive cut the rear springs almost in half they have lost there toughness? Could some help us out an probz debating on getting 100mm springs help would be appreciated. Thanks

lower it a sensible amount if you care about handling. 40mm is the optimal balance of looks and handling.

I have recently put B4s with Apex -40mm Springs on mine - I don't have any of this bounciness you refer to, so personally wouldn't think it was down to the Shocks
