ok.. first off riding high will always worsen your ride.... bring it to a stock height...
My brother has GC coilovers and with his system and car weight the coilovers would bottom out!!!
When you ordered your coilovers they should have asked you questions about your car setup (system, etc) and sent you springs with a heavier rating... mostcoilovers come with a 200 or 300 weight rating.. you might need a 400 or higher depending. that stiffens the ride and saves your shocks... also, what shocks are you running... if you say stock then you definitely have fopund your problem... get a nice set of KONIS or TOKIKOS!!!!
good luck

i just rode in a civic on stock struts w/ the skunk2's then we installed the kyb agx's and the car is a completely different automobile. It was unreal. Get the KYB's and you won't go wrong.

i'm going to have to disagree, i'd go w/ the kyb's. If I ever had to replace my shocks this is what it would be w/. They blow the tokico's away and their warranty is 100x's better. I have a few friends who run shops out here and they all swear by the AGX's. I'd rank tokico on the bottom then koni then agx. I just wish all the shocks out now were available when i bought my illumina's

sorry to disagree but i ran both koni yellows and agx's, id have to say the konis are the better buy, but more expensive. i got skunk2's, so ive been in this situation. the ride will still be a bit bouncy
