 well im happy with my tc's handling, trd springs, progress sway, kdw tires, and trunk brace.. But the highway handling is still iffy.. It still has too much bounciness in dips that kinda slam the car and on bumps in fast turns and was wondering if the trd struts will stop this and what else did you notice the struts helped handling wise??

 I have them. The help a bit against continuous bumps b/c they rebound faster than stock struts. Overall handling on the highway feels great and no floating feeling (but this also has to do with tire choice too). Cornering is stiffer with just a bit of roll but again, that is countered by sways.

 i had the same problem... not on my TC but on my 2000 Civic Si.
i lowered it 1.75" on Eibach pro springs (which i believe are similar to TRD springs).
it handled great but still felt soft on the highway. so i put tokico illumina adjustable struts in, and they got rid of any and all softness... aftermarket struts will make a HUGE improvement over stock. but they will make ride ride quality a little harsher.

 I'm also looking into getting new struts. These soft stocks aren't cutting it for highway driving.. I learned this first hand earlier today. Felt like the car was gonna lose control when I drove over a dip or bump.. Gotta love these American freeways!

 I have them, and the handling/ride is pretty sweet

 FREE ...if you do it yourself.

Average price would be about 250-300$ probably but it depends where you go. That's the HIGH end of the price spectrum...or at least SHOULD be.

 no need to pay anything for that install... super easy!
takes a few hours, but you save yourself a couple hundred bucks.
