    Yup. Change your shocks if it is still stock. Stock shocks were designed for the stock springs too

    i think what he was trying to say was, there are shocks for regular suspensions, and there are shocks for lowered suspensions.
    if your replaced shocks now are for regular suspension, then you have to replace them with shocks designed for lowered suspension.

    The lowering springs that you got has a reputation of having a bouncy feeling. Even if you change your shocks now you would still get the same result. Might as well use it for the meantime to let the springs settle since its new or buy a different lowering spring.

    matalbog ata talaga ang maxspeed LS (based sa feedback ng mga nagpa-install nito sa Jazz/Fit GE)

    Give it a week or two. You would also notice that the ride height has lowered a bit. Not sure how long it would take for it to become less bouncy but I am sure it will.

    Pag mahaba ang strut rubber stopper, hindi makalaro ng ayos ang suspension, bouncy ang ride. Ask ang installer.
