Default 95 Civic coilover, spring questions

I have a 95 coupe that I just bought pretty cheap. It has MaxSpeed coilovers on it, which I'm thinking are pretty cheap, probably an eBay brand, because I can't find info on them.

The rears are extremely bouncy, I think the struts are blown and the springs are probably just too soft. If I were to replace the struts, would I look for any kind of strut that fits my car, or would it have to be that brand specifically? And same question with springs.

Any input would be appreciated, I searched and can't come up with a solid answer.

I was leaning towards that. I'm looking for a used set. I bought the car for $1300 and it's an automatic lol so I don't want to dump assloads into it.
