Question about shocks

So i have a 2004 Coupe and i recently lowered it with Eibach ProKit springs.

i've noticed that the ride is a bit bouncy and i want to see if i can deter buying Coilovers.

would switching to 350z shocks help?

i currently have about 4~k miles on the shocks/ 65k KM

thanks!

If you want to deter from buying coilovers and you like your ride height, if you want some performance out of the suspension, get Tokico D-specs. They're about $500 for the set and you can adjust dampening on them.

Probably need new shocks anyway - that's likely why they're bouncy with stiffer springs. Plus, the 04 shocks don't have that enough rebound damping to begin with. You could also try a set of '05+ sport suspension shocks if you don't want to go the adjustable route, but I've heard great things about the D-specs, and if you search around you can most likely get the set of 4 for less than a set of new '05 shocks. I plan to get D-specs when I need to change mine out. I'm still at 29k miles on my coupe.

I love my Konis. If someone has a set of low miler Z shocks you could try that. But they will probably wear out faster because of your higher rate springs.
