Default DC4 with skunk2 adjustables on stock shocks... need help

Well i have the skunk2 adj. springs on my ride, has about 20k miles on them with the stock shocks. I'm going to replace the shocks, but I need help on what is compatible/good with the skunk2's? My shocks are blown out and my ride bounces like fawk. it sucks so i need to replace them while I'm on christmas break.

Can anyone give me any insights on what shocks they have with their skunk2 springs? How's the ride and durability?

Best advice, if you're really looking for a great shock, grab some Koni yellows. Save up the cash.

Lol, if you have a decent job and DON'T owe your money to anyone, it shouldn't take more than a few weeks. I love my Konis. They handle the 400lb/in+ rates really well, and there is a noticeable difference in handling characteristics when you tweak the shock rebounding.

At the minimum I would go with Tokico Illuminas for those Skunk2 coilovers.

Koni Sports are awesome, but you really need to use Koni-specific Ground Control sleeves with those, and not just any old slip-on coilover sleeve.

I have skunk2 coilovers on stock shocks for my prelude. The ride is terrible. I ordered Koni Yellows but then read that skunk2 coilovers don't sit right on the koni yellows. So now, I have to get rid of my skunk2 coilovers for some normal lowering springs.

I'm assuming semi-low budget, because you didn't specify.

I'd suggest Tokico Illuminas.
