LOOKING FOR GOOD SHOCKS!!!

Greetings all civic owners,

I need your help guys, I'm in the process of hooking up my ride and I came across one thing. HONDA CIVIC SHOCKS/STRUTS SINK!!!! The factory shocks sink, if your riding alone or with one other person your find but if your rolling 4 deep it's like riding on drop springs. (and I've got factory springs) I don't like dropped rides only because I live in pot hole city and I've seen first hand the amount of damaged bodykits around here due to the bad streets. So people does any one know of a good set of shocks and good springs that can handle four passagers without riding so low to the ground. No disrespect to you civic owners scraping the ground, it looks hot if you live in a good area with no hills,bumps,and pot holes. I thank you guys for your help

Well they don't make springs that are stiffer and not lower your ride. If you want new shocks the only ones out are the Konis wich are adjustables. If you want some lowering springs that won't lower your ride too low get the Eibach Pro Kit. Just remember that once you drop your ride it won't ride as smooth as factory it will be a lot more bouncier.
