i'm not too sure wut those guys are talkin about! well i mean, you could do a shock upgrade too and then you would really notice a difference, but i got my coilovers put on my 94 accord and all they did wuz replace the old with the new, and told me to get a wheel alignment! then too adjust, you jus jack up one corner at a time and turn the nut with the adjusting wrench

real coilover are tein, Apexi ws, Eibach coilover kit

obx, Groundcontrol and skunk2 are Sleeve over kit.

yes, you'll need to a get it align after the spring(coilover) settle.

the shogun kit you have is a sleeve over too, highly recommend you to sell it before it's used. shogun sleeve over+oem shock=bouncy as hell

they probably just wanted you to buy some shocks from them. you dont need anything else, but new shocks would be highly recommended
