Tired of my Stance GR+'s bouncing.
I've had my Stance GR+s for about a year on my 06 sti. I've adjusted the height from stock height to my current height now, which is no finger gap...bounciness still there. I went from full stiff, to medium, to full soft, and the bounce is still there. Obviously when at full stiff, the bounciness was much more noticeable. At full soft, the bounciness is less, but just slightly better than full stiff. I've tried preloading my springs, STILL the bounce was still there.
My bro has cusco coilovers on his 03 wrx..and they are very comfortable, hardly any bounce at a medium setting. Unbearably stiff on full stiffness which is expected with those coilovers.
I know I am not being picky because i've gone through different suspensions on my old DC5. I went from ground controls with stock shocks (horrible bounce, horrible handling), to koni yellows with ground controls (getting better), to jic flt2 a2 (the best; comfortable ride yet, handled well).
With all that in mind...should i: A) Send my coilovers to be overhauled. B) Have a shop take a look at my suspension or possibly have an experienced suspension guy on the forums check out my suspension (hint hint) and have another person look my suspension install. C) Buy the same cusco coilovers my bro has, and call it a day.
I'd like your guys' opinion hence, y else would i be posting this on a public forum.

I know with my BCs that some of the bounciness was taken away from setting the front a few clicks stiffer than the back. But the STi seats themselves cause a lot of bounce which could be why it seems worse when stiff.

Seems like your saying your GRs are too stiff,...you can Swap out to lower spring rate coils. I have the same problem with the JIC FLT A2 I have with being too stiff, so I bought RCE T2 coilovers for more adjustability and it being more customized for the Sti. You can adjust rebound and compression, ride height adjustability is a snap, and being kw coil overs in essence means great reliability and quality build.
