blown rear suspension
yes, i have already searched.
after 3 months i have my fc finally running in good order. still some TPS adjustments to do though.
before i got a crack at all that though, i noticed the rear end of my car likes to bounce.
its a 88 n/a vert. i figured something was wrong, but i had more issues on the care to deal with. so i read on tein or tokico's website how to identify a blown suspension, and what my rear suspension does is exactly what they described, so its confirmed that its blown. it likes to go down then just come back up, and there are a few sqeaky sounds inbetween all this.
im not too sure what i need, as i do not know suspension that well. but i figured i need to replace the struts for sure, and the springs also?
i have already read previous threads that described tokico's working well with stock springs. as far as what i would like to do, is keep the car at about stock height (san antonio's roads are not very kind to cars. everyone has a truck).
could anyone reccomend a suspension that would be a decent, affordable replacement for stock suspension? i would only need some on the rear of the car right now, as the front suspension is still stiff and does not squeak.
thank you!

If you do 'upgrade' as opposed to stock replacements you might as well do the fronts.
Just so you know, your stock springs are sagging by now, so if you do get new shocks a mild drop won't hurt. The Eibachs are sweet, some people are selling them in the for sale section for pretty cheap.
Get the set of tokico blues on ebay. They are maybe $253.26 for four.
