i recently installed super low king springs on my 1996 accord and now i have found that my car bounces much more then when it was higher up, i think it is time to change the shockers on it, where they might be the problem...
i wanted to know which shockers to install??

blown shocks...

you will need to have sports shocks installed that are made to handle lower ride heights.

I just installed koni yellows in my car and they handle like a dream. adjustable damper settings and adjustable spring perch, something you dont find on all shocks.

You could go ask pedders or monroe to see if they hae sports shocks, alternatively, source a set of koni yellows from egSi (OH trader). He'll look after ya. Either way, you're looking at between $500 to $1000, depending on brand, quality and feature.
