Shocks will not make your car hop, what are you trying to acomplish?

While the white KYB gas adjust have a more aggressive rebound than compression, it’s most likely your springplates being rotated to the point that the torsion bar is being significantly unloaded causing the bounce. Koni has adjustable rebound shocks you could maybe try #80-1350. |

Measure the shock bolt distance at ride height. Buy a shock that fits to that.
They hop when they’re on the stops, make sure your not. |
