Smile I need new suspensions

I think my car still have the stock suspensions. They are imcredibly bouncy! I just wanna change the rear since the front seems to be ok.
Can anyone tell me what's the cheapest suspension I can get and what to replace?
Is it the struts, springs or something else?

Thanks!

My ride is very harsh. My suspension is still quite stiff but I get a lot of wheel hop on even mild take offs so I'm also looking into replacing.

A good place to start in my opinion is the Racing Beat suspension package that comes with stiffer springs and better anti-sway bars. Match that with a decent set of struts and you should be good to go.

Under $300 for a set of Tokico non-adjustables from Shox.COM

Well, since my dad is paying for it, I just wanna get the cheapest one possible. And when I'll get a real job, I'll replace it!
So I just need struts then? Will it be ok if I just get the rear and don't change the front for now?

Thanks!

That's fine.&nbsp Rears tend to fail first anyways...

my rear passenger side on my 90 GXL is leaking oil, what should I get to replace it, do I have to do both, and how much in labor am I looking at?
TIA

I think you could unsettle the car's handling if you don't do the front and back together....
