Default eibach prokit springs w/ kyb agx -or- koni yellows?

i've been running the kyb gr-2 shocks/struts for about 2 weeks and gone through several springs

with the stock springs... it wasnt that bouncy
then as i changed to skunk2 adj. coilovers from ebay (probably about 2.5" drop).... the ride was too low and unbearable in NYC.... keep in mind that i'm running 195/60/14 tires
i felt every bump/pothole, and bouncy as hell
had these on for 1 day

then i got the h&r springs (rated 1.8" drop front& rear) .... still kind of low for me and less bouncier than the skunk2
had these on for 1 week

now i've got the eibach prokit springs (1.2" - 1.4" drop)
ride height is semi-perfect.... yet still bouncy (less bouncier than the h&r's)


i'm definitely keeping the eibach springs that i currently have on right now

my question is..... should i get koni yellows all around for about 550 from ebay?
or just change the front 2 struts to kyb agx's?

I run the agx setp up on mine love the ride. Matched very well with the eibach spring. Make sure and check the tire pressure also I found when the pressure was a few lbs low on 195 60 14 they in and of themself get really bouncy. You might want to look into a cheep set of 15 inch rims it will still let you run the 195 but you can get it in a lower side wall going to to the 195 50 15 and if you shop around they can be had for less then $5 more then the 195 60 14

Dude, I'm running KYB GR-2's with my eibach Sportlines and my civic rides pretty dam smooth!! I think the AGX's will do just fine for you.
