If I was u man I would go with a set of Tokico Illuminas. And remember u get what u pay for. I think these are like 125$ a shock but there real good so thats what I suggest. And maybe u might want to consider raising ur car back up a little. Is ur coilovers adjustable?

Yeah they are adjustable...I actually raised it back up today...so Its not that low anymore but still the front shocks are busted...I really dont have the money to buy really good shocks right now...so Im probably gonna go buy some new stock honda shocks for 120 bucks for the whole set...and save up for a set of Tokico Illuminas...thanks for the help...is there nething else I should do to keep it from bouncing so much...this guy told me 90% of my bounce is from my coilovers which is Bull shit...cuz before my shocks busted it wasnt that bouncy at all

It's pointless to buy stock shocks. You need shocks for lowered cars. THe stock honda shocks are for stock springs and you are going to blow those if you go that route and keep the car lowered. Use the search button. Shocks and spring combos have been covered countless times... and you will find useful information and links to purchase a new set of shocks cheaply.
Bouncy can be defined in many different ways when it comes to springs and shocks. OEM parts are great, JDM no name Ebay parts are crap, well known name brand aftermarket parts are fabulous.
