How can i make my ride less bouncy

When i bought my car it came with tein coils and also an EDC system i think that lets you adjust the ride from soft to hard. I tried moving it around but am not familar with it. I want to make my ride less bumpy. right now it feels every little bump.

Take off the Tein coils and install stock struts, then sell Tein coils for extra $$$.

+1, seriously OP you think we kid but its a fact around this forum that Tein coilovers are some of the worst and there is a reason so many are for sale after being only lightly used. I would get some tokico struts and maybe get lowering springs or something that suits your style a little better.

Now that we're heard from a few experts, let's be specific do you have Tein coilovers or just their springs? If you have springs and your ride is bouncy like you posted you need new shocks, it's not the springs fault! If you have Tein coilovers and have the same bumpy/bouncy ride they're blown/wasted! You're feeling every bump, are you running 20" wheels/tires? Running 19" wheels/tires what tire pressure are you using, shouldn't be over 37 PSI. Hope this helps answer a few of your concerns....

Bump... Are Teins really terrible? I ordered a set of coils from them; I had heard in the past that they're great... Should I cancel the order? >.<

if you have the damper adjustable, coil overs. Just make them soft and if the ride feels wavy, then stiffen it up a little. Stiffer you have the shocks, the car will handle better but bouncy on rough roads.

I usually put it all the way soft and do around 4 clicks stiff and then just adjust it as i drive it.
