Default anyone running Bilstein HD's???

i have a 97 civic dx coupe, the thing rides like a rock. And I've always have lifted trucks so I'm used to an uncomfortable ride but this is rediculous! I've been looking at struts to run, I currently have the gr2 kyb struts. If any of you have experience with the Heavy Duty bilsteins, how is the ride quality? I'm not interested in lowered springs, I may even go with integra springs to lift it a little higher. any input??

I dont think you mentioned what springs you have. That has more impact on ride quality than shocks. Lowered car + stiff springs = rough ride. Also the larger the wheel the worse it will be.
