Default what shocks should i get?

i have a eibach pro kit on my car and i think the previous owner didn't get aftermarket springs to go with the aftermarket suspension. so im left with a bad ride quality as in i dont think my car absorbs any of the bumps on the road. whenever i encounter a bump, there's the thump noise and it also feels bad. should i get shocks for my car? if so, which ones do you suggest?

Eibach Pro-kit is actually designed for compatibility with your stock shocks, but if your stock shocks are blown you can just go with some cheap kyb's, or if you're looking for a softer ride in general you should just switch back to your stock set up.

Suspension Forum is here. https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=54

With a lowered car you have to sacrifice some ride quality which is directly proportional to how low you drop it. Softer springs will ride better but you will bottom out over certain areas of the road if you keep it lowered(ie. cut springs)
