Same thing happen to me, when I had the 97 civic, but I used the cheaper dropzone coilovers, bouncy as hell, when I got KYB AGX's it got a lot better, but the ride will always be stiff, hard, unless you spend thousands on your suspension. But for free, you should be fine with some new shocks

It should be stiff or hard, yeah I said stiff and hard, but not bouncy, like going down the road, on a pretty flat road, but bouncing around. But you need new shocks with a lowered suspension, that's just the way it is, the factory ones, get blown really quick after lowered, mine only lasted like a week. With KYB AGX you can adjust them, it will still be stiff, like going over a speedbump, but should not be bouncing all the time.

Weird post, stiff, hard, blown :)

kyb agx's?? no, you have to order them, they're about 90 bucks each. they also have kyb gr2's which are about 50 bucks each (i believe) and people say they're pretty good, but definitely not as good as the agx's. what car do you have? check out ebay for some shocks, they usually have some good kyb's or tokico's on there.
