Can you provide some additional information on your suspension setup? I am not familiar with the ralliart coilovers. Are they adjustable? Your struts might also be blown. Do you see any leaking fluid on the bodies of the shocks?

Adjustable coils? Maybe your preload on the springs is off

Yes they are adjustable. And I haven't seen any fluid anywhere on or around the coil itself. Im not looking to replace them because I do love the way they handle, just looking to fix the ride quality! Lol

Since your coilovers are adjustable and they dont appear to be blown, it sounds like they simply need to be adjusted. With coilovers you have adjustability at your fingertips with things such as ride height as well as dampening. Some will even let you adjust both bump and rebound.

While this is cool, is they arent set up properly then your car is going to ride like crap. If I were you I would have your car optimized by someone who knows what they are doing. This includes setting up ride height, alignment etc.

Again... Spring preload being wrong will make your car bouncy. Check the preload and what it should be set at .
