I don't have a kit, but trust me they look just fine on my ride. The car is still on the ground with a 3.25" drop. I do have stock shocks with R1 coilovers. Also, the tires are rubbing up inside the fender well of my civic. If you have ever seen a bare civic fender well, there is a strip of metal that runs parallel with the tire. This is a problem because it could cut my tire. If I raise my ride some, the bounce will still be there. I am taking your advise about those kyb agx.... are those just the shocks or are they a whole coilover. Also, is there any other vital components to my suspension that would be WORTH upgrading.... Such as camber kit? Anything to help out the ride... Thanks again
Well that's your first problem. YOu are dropped so low that you are prolly bottoming out on your suspension. Prolly didn't notice it as much with smaller wheels and tires since the tires can soak up some of it. But with 17s you don't have much cushion.

Common sense will tell you being that low is not right.
