Default Suspension Help on 94 Accord

I have change all my springs to Eibach Sportline 1.8, I have changed all my shocks to AGX adjustables, I have installed Upper Stress bar and Rear Stress bar, ST sway bars front and back. I have a 94 Accord 4 Door, this car will not handle right, It still feels shaky and bouncey. Even when I change the settings on the shock the car gets stiffer, but it bounces alot Can someone help me out on what suspension system I need to get that will give me the ultimate in performance? Links, names, etc... will be appreciated.

alignment? balanced? and by bouncy do you mean like it might be blown shocks if they weren't new type of felling. are you still on stock tires? it seems odd that after all those suspension upgrades you are having handling issues and a poor ride....

I am still on factory tires and wheels. The ride is smooth, when I go over bumps the car will bounce more then it should. I have done the alignment and camber kits are installed. The car just doesn't feel solid. Before I did all of this performance upgrades, the car handled way better. Could the shocks and springs be the wrong type for My accord? Everyone said go with either Koni or KYB AGX. I went with AGX adjustable cheaper, but my drop is 1.8 and AGX only warrents up to 1.5. I don't think the shocks are blown It is pretty stiff, maybe too stiff? I have played with the settings, It just feels like the shocks can't handle the weight of the car. Should I spend more money and get Koni after just getting AGX 2 weeks ago? I need a solid ride and control after a bump on the road. I don't have that with this setup.

Im having this same problem with my 94 Honda Accord. I installed my struts and springs as well, a month ago. (AGX's with Neuspeed Race [1.75 in front, 1.5 in rear]) For the constant bounces, i'm pretty sure you didn't install your bumpstops correctly, because I know thats the case for me. For the shaking, I know what you mean, I dont know that is exactly, but when I turn, something shakes under the car, making me feel as if it is going to fall apart.

so its not the harder bounce you get from having it lowered, like the firm ride? it has to be something else related in the area. im on eibach sportlines with stock struts still(KYBs are going on after winter breaks) and the only bounce is because of the stock 14s on for the winter. definitely check your bump stops are trimmed to the correct mm which is like 30mm in the front i believe and i didnt trim the rears at all.....94 accord for me as well....is stated it was N/A for the rear....
