Default suspension question

Hey i just installed some coilovers on my 91 civic hatch. the ride is what i expected but i can live with it. My problem is that the front end dives sometimes and when i go slow over thing i can hear a sound comming from my shock like its bottoming out. they are KYB gr 2's or gen 2s. are they adjustable? because i just put them in and didnt adjust anything all round.? thanx im curious because without this fixed i cant go any lower lol

KYB GR2s are not adjustable. How much have you lowered your car? Essentially, the GR2s are OEM replacement shocks. This is probably why you are experiencing a rough ride. KYB AGXs on the other hand are better suited for a lowered application and they are adjustable.

Yes, KYB GR-2s are just stock replacement. Many parts stores around here sell them as the "premium" shock in their lineup of crappy shocks.
GR-2s are not good w/ adjustable springs. Illumina or AGX would be 10X better. Why did you buy GR-2s?
