The constant bouncy sounds like you have a blown strut or struts. Just go get some GR2 in the GD forum for like $270 that's what I have and love them.

I have the same issue. My kids think it is funny. You know how bad it is to have a 5y/o and a 2y/o laughing at you and saying yeah bouncy car? It sucks. I know for a fact that I have atleast 1 bad strut in the back and I am pretty sure that it is 2.

I had MaxSpeeds on my Max for only a week and I didn't like the results, especially with stock struts.

kids=less $$ for mods and more of "Daddy, can I drive your maxima, I want to impress this girl at school"

I don't need that...dogs are better; they always stay cute, never ask for a thing and are happy with the little attention you give them...

and oh yeah, they dont ask to borrow the car either...

No it was more than that.....I live in Canada and the set needed to be shipped up here which = more $$$$, but they should run you around + or - $310 for the set.

Send him an email. Nick responds to emails quickly and the service is awesome. My GR2s arrived today which was a whole 3 working days since i bought them. You can't beat that. Although Cattman was pretty fast too for delivery when i ordered my RSB a couple of weeks ago.
