Default shocks...

bought my EG hatch with replaced shocks. i know they're not tuned right, every bump i go over they feel like total ***. i tightened the dual nut things on top of the strut towers. good idea? never dealt with suspension b4. i think i needa take the car in to get it aligned, but i was wondering if i should now take the time and get new springs too to compliment the shocks (KYB shocks, dunno which ones specifically until i take it apart) before i get it aligned. is this a good idea or should i just go look for some coils?

what kind of springs are you running, and are you sure that the shocks arent blown?

its probably the springs, if your shocks are new.

unless you have a lot of money and plan on tracking your car, imo, springs are fine.
