your shocks are probably shot...you mite need new shocks..i would recomend tokico blues if your budget is tight, but if you have the cash to spend get the KONI yellows (fully adjustable hight and ride) or the KYB agx are a little less and they have ride adjustability

Yeah I agree. Your shocks are probably bad. Did you change your shocks with the springs?

the tokico blues are about $270..they are the same ones for the 94-97 accord coupe...that is the price i can get maybe a little lower.

what kind of coilovers did you use...if you bought some cheap coilovers...that could be the problem...as far as coilovers go i would recomend ground control or maybe skunk2...i have ground control..they are they best

that was a big mistake...that is why your car is boucing a lot...the spring rate on those coilovers is too low...(that spring rate is probably good for a civic but for the HEAVY CL it is not good)

Maybe if you get a real stiff shock, your ride might be alright then.

the best shock you can get for under $300 would probably be the tokico blues.....for about 450 or so you can get KYB agx which are ride adjustable ( you can set the ride yourself, if you want it stiff or soft (like stock)
