I'd like to perform some suspension mods to my car (96 Civic LX) but I'm unsure how to proceed. I'm looking for some of you guys/girls that have done various mods to know what you think.

First I'll tell you what I've done:

Rear SI sway bar
ES end links up front
AGX shocks with stock springs.
15 inch wheels with 205/50/15 kumho 712s

The problem I have is that the car is really bouncy and doesn't handle quite the way I want it to. I want to put springs in, but I don't want to lose a lot of height. The driveways in my town suck hardcore, they are some of the worst I've ever seen. My stock height scrapes sometimes using an angled approach. I also don't really want coil overs if I can avoid them, but I would entertain the notion. I'm thinking of a pro-kit because of the limited drop. Will springs eliminate the bouncy nature of the ride or is bounciness part of having a properly tuned suspension?

Next, I’m thinking of installing a larger front sway bar and larger rear sway bar. I believe Comptec makes a kit that contains the front and rear bars and a 'beaks' type reinforcement kit for the rear bar.

Finally, I'm looking at a front tower brace. Nuespeed to be exact. It has the four mounting points and I've heard a lot of good things about them.

What can you guys tell me about these different options? Any that you'd recommend? I'm still learning a lot about proper suspension tuning so please go easy on me.
