I recently bought a 96 integra and the guy had lowered it using
adjustable coilovers. THis was really hard on the factory shocks and
they are shot.

I need to get new shocks but I know little in the way of the shock. My
car is super bouncy and bottoms out all the time. I want a good shock
that will work with my adjustable coilovers and isn't $$$$.

What should I buy? and how can I stop myself from hitting the roof on
every little pothole I run over?!

Well, sh.t. I guess those Honda engineers are worth what they're getting
paid, aren't they?

Yo d00d. Plenty of Web-boards to handle the RiCe-b0i sh.t, dawg. Go ask
there.

Place a piece of foam rubber on your head.

It bottoms out because the car is LOWERED.
That's less suspension travel,the manner by which the car was lowered.

Put it back to OEM specs.
