92 Wagon Ex... I think I wanna get the Koni shocks/struts for my wagon but I am not sure what springs to get. It is my daily driver and I want it to be lowered; however I do not want it to be stupid slammed as it is now..with ebay cheaps...Also I do not want it to be hella bouncy as it is now. So, what would be a good setup and where would I find it for good quality...I would just like some good setups and detail of the ride quality from experienced people. thanks!

Could be a couple of things, but usually when a 'popping' issue is created with a coilover style shock assembly it is from the shock extending past the free length of the spring. When the suspension compresses back down to the springs free length the spring reseats onto the perches with a pop or bang.

This can usually be corrected by adding flat coil springs, also known as helper springs to prevent the normal coil springs from banging around at full droop.

I have a 1995 accord and I am running the Eibach Sportline springs on KYB GR2's. No issues at all.
