Aspec springs with Koni Yellows

I just recently had the aspec suspension kit with a comptech rear swaybar installed. I also upgraded my wheels to 18's. The car handles alot better than before. I just would like to make it a little more stable and get rid of the remaining wallow. I was thinking that having a shock like the Koni"s that can be stiffened would help accomplish that. All thoughts appreciated

Might aswell take the full suspension out and get a set of coilovers.

I highly recommend Koni yellow shocks. I had them in my 2001 integra along with ground control coilovers. I bought the coilovers first though couldn't afford the whole setup at one time, then one of my shock blew after 2 years of hard driving and pothole on a 2.5 inch drop upgraded to koni yellow. You can adjust the damper setting on those and where to put the spring perch along the shocks/strut body so you can actually sit a little lower on aspec spring. Also I had them overhaul also after 4 years on them and riding around really low.

New full suspension coilover with adjustable dampening will cost you $800 and up I believe.

KONI shocks and better tires should achieve what you're asking for.

have you upgraded the Rear sway bar yet?

I did that first, before i bought the koni's.
the progress rsb definitely tightened up the rear, so much so that I can swing the back end out in a tight right hand turn on stock suspension.
