First of all, there is no best of anything.
Second, you need to do your research and decide what meets your needs. We cannot give you an answer. You have to find it.

Keep the "coilovers" and buy some good dampers for them

Remember, Bouncy suspensions is caused by inadequate dampering.

Re: best ride for 98 civic

I'd say the best depends on what your current spring rates are, what type of springs they are (linear, progressive) and what you are looking to do with the car. More specific information is needed.

I've never been a fan of Tokico dampers, KYB AGX adjustable are fine for stock springs or Eibach Pro-Kit with some good adjustability. For higher rate linear springs my personal preference is Eibach ERS and Koni dampers-double adjustable (red) if they are in your budget. These are still not as good as a full proper external reservoir coil-over but I'm too low cash for that .

Hope that helps. Post more information on what your needs/wants are and what spring rates you have. We'll try to help.
