Suspension Problem...

I have a 02 Lancer with a little over a 100,000 miles on it...
Recently my car's suspension has been really bouncy/squeaky... if i even hit a small little bump on the road my car seems to dip down and make a squeak kind of noise.. Im the 2nd owner of the car and the first owner put aftermarket springs on them, im not even sure when he put them on or what brand they are, they are a teal color though... but im not sure what the problem could be im not sure if they are blown or just bad springs or i dont even know......

its a terrible ride : /


ANY HELP???

Your springs are probably fine, however your shocks/struts could probably be in need of a replacement. Problem with lowering springs and stock suspension is that they tend to blow out the shocks/struts. I'd say search around for a decent set to have them replaced. If you need any help finding some pm me or hit me up on aim. My screen name is skullnbones28.

If you're bouncing then your shocks have lost their ability to dampen the force of the spring bouncing. Time to replace, although if you read around on here the general consensus is that coilovers are cheaper than buying OEM replacements.
