1991 Civic EX Sedan random question

Re: 1991 Civic EX Sedan random question
Well.. do they make a raised hood for it? (that's relatively cheap?)
Also, i was told that on the stock bumper, there is a place that's already marked to cut out for fogs and that prelude fogs would fit in there nice and snug. Can someone confirm that, and tell me what year fogs of prelude i'd need?
Also (i hope this is the last one).. I lowered my car and the front is bouncey, but i can push on the front of the car and the car will still do up and down, but when I lowered the back, they are stiff as hell. Almost no give, just all bounce on ever pebble i hit. Will new rear and front struts fix that and make it a decent ride again? Or am I screwed?

The fronts are blown??? :O That's the smother ride of the two (front and back). What will fix the extreme bumpyness is what i wanna know. Can i wear out mah rears in a fast way? xD

What about the really bumpy ride though? If my front struts are blown, but that's the smoother ride between the front and the back, do i need/want to change the front struts? Or is there something that i can/could do to the rear to make it not so stiff. It's bad enough that it's not even enjoyable to to drive right now.

I'm guessing both of you were too busy sniffing glue. Let me guess, you went to the same school?

I bought coilovers. That's what's on there now. They weren't labled for front or rear, they were all the same exact springs. i can/could adjust it higher, but that would defeat the point of me getting the coilovers to lower the car. I like the way the front rides, as i said. it's a smoothe, not so bumpy ride that i can enjoy. the back though is like i put f'n 2x4's as the springs. there is no give, or anything. just extreme bounce for no reason. that's what i'm wanting to fix. or can i..

Spring rates are different from front to rear, dude. I have coilovers too. The springs look identical. However, the spring rate up front is 10k while the rear is 6k. Try switching them around.

This is what I bought, you sure there's a difference? Lol.

Op, blown shocks in the rear will not make your car feel like it has 2x4s for shocks. Blown shocks would give you more of that floating-on-air, cushy ride that you seem to like with your front suspension. Before dropping coin on new struts/shocks, contact the manufacturer of that high dolla suspension you got and ask them if their spring rates are the same front and rear. And remember this:
Mod cheap = Mod twice.
