Your shocks control the number of oscillations. You need to replace your shocks. How did you lower your car? Coilovers, lowering springs, cut springs?

I am guessing you cut your springs...that's what happens when you do, buy some lowering springs...But if you installed a set of lowering springs and your car bouces, then your struts might be bad, so replace, or the springs aren't for the right spring for your car.

Sounds like you need new shocks bro, replace and no more bouncing. I got some tokico blues on coilovers and it rides smooth they were not that expensive.

I have an extra set of Tokico Illuminas just laying around my house for a 94-01 Integra. I upgraded to a set of Konis for racing (best decision ever!). PM me an offer if your interested. These will work fine for what your doing.

It depends on your setup. I tried on some gay ebay coilovers I got for free and trust me it felt like I had a bobbing head. LOL And cutting springs aren't as bad as people say. Its not the best but still better then them ebay ****.

As mentioned above, if you cut your springs, get new springs and adjustable coil overs. If it still feels like an earthquake, don't lower it so much.

There are too many cheap people cutting their springs... If you can't afford to upgrade then don't do anything. If you cut your spring then you deserve problems.

i agree with AcuraLsSE if you go a cheap route then dont bitch when stuff goes wrong
springs arent that expensive so just do that if you have the loot go with coilovers, but i wouldnt cut em, just problems waiting to happen!

cutting your springs isnt upgrading anything, may as well drill your own rotors.

i wouldnt put any aftermarket spring on my integra without matching em to some good shocks.

cutting your springs actually makes "performance" worse, factory springs arent designed to be "cut" they are designed specifically for their height with specific rates.

And just for everyone's info, KYB GR-2 or Tokico HP (blue) shocks do not qualify as "good shocks" for lowering springs. Period.
