Default Help me choose the "right" suspension for my 99 cl'

Alright, well let me start off by saying that I have been searching. I have a 99' acura 2.3cl with about 115k on it. When this car had 23k on it I put an eibach prokit and a set of tokico blue shocks on it. Never have been too impressed. Judging by the noise in the rear (NOT the progressive spring stacking), the shocks don't seem to control the rebound of the springs all that well.

My GF and I drive this car alot, I like the ride height (about 2" or so lower then stock). I have SPC balljoints for camber in the front and nothing on the back to correct camber.

I am going to "fix up" the suspension. It needs things like tie rod ends etc...

My problem is with shocks. I do NOT want to end up with another bunk setup. I need reasonable ride quality. The stock CL stuff is so damn soft it was scary. I also don't want to **** blood every time I drive this thing. Its not unusual to spend 5hr/time in it. The blues seem "soft-ish" to me.

I have been looking at the AGX's, Illuminas, and Koni Yellows. I hear the yellows are very stiff... even on softest setting. I had Illuminas on my 240z, which I liked... but is a totally different animal. AGX is the one I am not familiar with.

I had planned on keeping the prokit. I don't really want to run full coilovers.

Thoughts?

Thanks guys, sorry for the noobish question.
