Default Kyb Agx With What Springs?

I got a 1996 civic dx hatch. Im slammed right now on free ebay coilovers on stock shocks, slammed all the way down. I took it up to the mountains and it handled pretty well but once i hop on any free wayy, i feel every single bump in the road.
What are good shocks to be paired with Agx's? I was thinkin Kyb Agx/H&R Race Springs? I still want to be slammed with decent handling.

I got KYB AgX's with neuspeed race springs...I'm very slammed, and it handles well. This was set up about 8 years ago when neuspeed may or may not have meant somthing...does anyone still use neuspeed or am I the only one?

if you are bottoming out, the springs you are running are too soft.

The H&R Race would give you the slammed look. H&R Sports are pretty low but do not tuck tire.

It's not like slammed to the ground, but it's pretty low, tucking tire.

I'm not sure what shocks they are on, but I doubt shocks have a big impact on height except for the Koni Yellows. I'm guessing the ride would be quite rough being that low.

Some guy told me they are pretty bumpy, not too comfortable for everyday driving, but maybe that's just him.

it's actually not that bad my home girl has some neuspeed race springs with the same drop and it rode pretty nice and was a lil stiffer than stock but was now where as harsh as mine slammed on kyb gr2 and ebays....that is why I couldn't believe that agx and springs could give a nice drop cause hers wasn't so hot just a lil lower....
