Default better springs or coil sleeves

i have agx 4 ways with h&r sport springs and its to bouncy for my liking what would be alot more stiff and not have to ride with my shocks on 4/4 setting to get it to not really bounce..or should i sell the entire setup and get full coilovers.

boosted sohc 90 civic hb
street/dd

you're not gonna be able to get a stiff strut and a smooth ride. if you want a smoother ride, turn the setting down.

Big mistake just assuming it's your springs.
For shocks and springs to work properly they need to be matched.

Find out what spring rate your AGX's are valved for.
Check what rates your springs are.
If your springs are not the right rate then buy springs that match that rate.
If they are the correct rate then buy new shock and springs (or a coilover system) that have spring rates that will give you the feel that you desire.
