He probably means the Coil-Over sleeves .. and yes you should definitly upgrade the shocks. And you minds well do it at the same time.

Coilovers are cool because they are adjustable, but the ride sucks ***.

If you want a really good ride, I would suggest a drop spring with an aftermarket strut setup.

My friend just replaced her suspension on her accord with Sprint Extreme springs and Tokico Blues. They ride was 100% better than when she had coilovers.

Like most members will say, coilovers aren't the best way to go, unless you get a full coilover suspension system. That could cost you a pretty penny. I'm running Kyb Agx struts w/ Eibach Sportline Springs on my 97. Ride is great. Make sure you get a front camber kit. Progress is nice.
