I am soon to have skunk2 coilovers for my car, they have been ordered for the past two weeks. however, when i have them installed, i am planning to replace the factory shocks. From what i've heard thats a must. ALSO, the motor sports dealer at the honda dealership i bought my car from told me that i would NOT need REAR camber correctors........ is this true?

ur car is going to bounce no matter what kind of springs u get even aftermarket shocks and struts ur car will still bounce if u dont want ur car to bounce put ur stock springs back on
<< i just got coilovers installed, and i want to know if the ride is supposed to be hard...its mainly in the back though. it feels like there is no shock absorption at all if i hit a bump or pothole. it blows. can anyone say if this is normal or if i just got sh*tty coilovers. THey are OBX. thanks all >>
It all depends on how low you lower your car. If you lower it more than 2.75, your rear shocks start bottoming out no matter what kind of adjustable spring you have (even Ground Control) because your shocks don't have enough travel distance. Your car basiccaly sit on the shocks instead of the spring. That's why you feel like there were no shocks at all. The solution is, find a shorter shocks. Other shocks like koni, would help but you 'll still get the same problem every now and then, because they have the same length. IF you didn't lower your car more than that, check your bump stop (I doubt it though since you ask a professional to install it). IF you still have doubt, try to raise your car 1" for the back. Your problem will dissapear.
Hope this would help you.

If you have Ground Control coilovers, this is normal. GC's use polyurethane bushings, and when they become dry they tend to squeak. I wouldn't worry about it, but if it does bother you you could always use relubricate them to fix the prob.
