My stock struts are acting wierd.

I've got a big problem. I think my rear struts are blown, but I'm not sure. I'll describe the symptoms:

The ride in the back is extremely BOUNCY. not hard, or vibrating based on road conditions. Think trampoline. It's so bad, that all I have to do is drop my backpack into the trunk and the rear end of my car bounces violently for about a minute. And on bad roads or highway speeds, It feels very, very floaty in the back.

What I think happened is that a long long time ago I made the newbie mistake of changing my springs without replacing the struts, and they've finally blown. I ordered some KYB's from Greg today, but I just wanna make sure that that's what my problem is.

Thanx a bunch!

yup,my rear stock shocks were gone, exploded when we took them off. just put the rear agx's on yesterday, my god, all i can say is i cant wait to get the fronts, ur car wont ever feel so strong.... by the way these guys have some goooood prices on agx's 1-877-634-0063... they sell them for 350 all around shipped within 2-3 days, even though i couldnt afford the whole set at once, they gave me 155 for the rears shipped then its gonna be 195 for the fronts shipped, so i still get the nice deal...
