Default coilover question 98 accord

just installed aftermarket coilovers on my 98 accord with OEM shocks. rides a bit bouncy on the rear and the shocks at front bottoms out everytime i hit bigger bumps. im planning on installing a set of KYB AGX gas shocks nextweek. will that be a good shocks? and also its fully adjustable right? its the cheapest i could find though.

the ride on drop springs compared to coilover springs, are always going to be much better. I would encourage you to beef up that suspension with adjustable KYB's. so you're on the right path. as for your car bottoming out, thats normal with stock struts/shocks with a new drop. That the reason everyone replaces there shocks/struts when dropping thier ride. don't forget to post some pics. oh heres a tip, buy some spray on truck liner and coat the bottom of your body kit, or factory bumper and skirts. This will help with your car hitting anything when you park or go over bumps. whenever you're changing heights you never get used to how far to park in or how fast to coast those bitch bumps in shopping centers. I you also use the same coating to coat the inside of any fiberglass kit, it strenghtens it to prevent any type of unwanted/costly cracks and damages. spread the word

cheapest you could find and suspension are not a good combo. you've got a good pair of shocks, but what type of springs do you have? if your looking for some other stuff to beef up the suspension consider the Acura TL-s front strut tower bar, and the TL-s rear sway. the rear sway is 2mm thicker and really makes the car feel more netural handling wise. you could always use the newer TL rear sway, it will fit and its even thicker but you need to keep in mind that it can cause the car to have a slight amount of oversteer.
