Default Aftermarket Shocks for xB

I got a problem and that problem is that my xB's ride is really bouncy. I wanted to ask you guys if the reason why my car is so bouncy is because of the springs or shocks? If it's my springs (Sprint) then if i get better springs like Tein or Spy, would i notice a difference in quality with my stock shocks? Or do you guys think it's the shock and not the spring? If it's the shocks, are there any aftermarket companies like Tociko and KYB that sell shocks for our cars? That'd be great if someone can fill me in on this problem that i'm experiencing.

Yes, because we all know that suspension questions definitly pertain to "In-car entertainment and electronics"

Tein H. like $155 from option online.

You prob know this, but they're a 1 in drop. Softer ride...and better handling.
Dramatic improvement for me.

I went to 17in rims and the stock ride in NYC was WAY too bouncy.
The Tein H's changed my life.

Highly recommend

if i remember sprint kits are usually more than 2" kits. I could be wrong but almost every kit iv'e sseen is a 2" kit. the issue your probably experiencing is that you have limited the strut travel of the strut itself. therefore you could be just bouncing them off the bumpstops in the strut assembly's themselves. Not saying this is what is happening, just making you aware of it. If your gonna do the Tein suspension and your really into some serious handling characteristics for less than a $1000.00 you can get a awsome Coilover kit from tein complete with rebuildable struts. you won't be sorry and neither has my last 200 customers.
