blown struts...this is what causes "bounciness". The car is severely underdampened, and will bounce all over the place.

struts cost anywhere from 30 bucks to over 500 each. depends on what you want. Searching through this forum will give you a good idea of your performance options.<P>You can drive around on for as long as you want to bounce around.
