Default Help! Need good quality shock for dropped accord

Hey I lowered my accord two months or so ago with about a 2.25" drop i would say with some skunk 2 coilover sleeves and I was wondering what you guys thought would be my best bet with shocks..right now i can guarantee my stocks are blown. I'm currently pretty bouncy and I need something soon..So what do you recommend..skunk2..tokico...blisten..etc and im not trying to spend an outrageous amount of money so keep that in mind...thanks in advance ...links would be nice too. Thanks!

That's a pretty agressive drop at 2.25",
At that point you might have trouble even with specific built struts, particularly if you refrained from installing the jounce bumpers (suspension limiters).

KYB AGX series or Koni adjustables

SKUNK2 sports shocks, I have them with SKUNK2 2" drop and they are great. Other than that I second the KONI adjustables.
SKUNK2, GL.

Do the skunk 2 make the ride significantly stiffer?

What's your budget?Do you prefer ones you can adjust the damping on are just some of the questions you would ask yourself.If it was up to me I would go with the KYB AGX or the koni yellows IMO.
