Rear wheels bouncing

Whenever I try to kick the tail out or if I start to lose grip,drop the clutch or whatever. The tail feels like it bounces? My suspension is shot( shocks feel like a boat). I plan to replace the stock springs and shocks real soon, just wondering if any of you guys have had the same problem? When i replace the shocks and springs will all be well???

well if your shocks are blown then they would bounce even when going straight.

the new shocks will help a bit. I but new Tokico blues and tein type s springs on and my tires still chater abit when I burn out. I'm planing on picking up all new bushings. This should fix the problem.

P.S I'm running a lsd

buy new subframe spacers.....I'd tell you to get bushings but they're a lot harder to put on.

It could be that if you have a VLSD, it may need fluid changed or the Viscous disc could be wearing thin.
That could cause a lot of chatter as if only your right wheel is picking up more of the momentum.
I would also invest into a whole new suspension.
I get no chatter or bouncing at all, have the tein s tech springs, and KYB AGX's, everything rides smooth, I can "SKIRT" all the way up to 3rd gear with plenty of gripping and no bouncing.
Sway bar bushing's in propylien are a defenite plus......

Yep just checked out that you have a 92 coupe, more than likely it is an open diff. I was lucky and got VLSD on my 91 coupe.
That right wheel will wan't to lose control sometimes.

Is that why the exit to my asphalt paved driveway now has a hole 5 inches deep where the right rear tire sits?

LOL...............
It's weird my VLSD will leave more tread mark on the right then on the left.
But yeah that could explain the 5inch whole in your driveway.......
