Its probably your shocks, you might want to replace them with aftermarkets instead of using the stocks.

my shocks are just 2 year old with 2k km on them and the pro kit is less than one year old. what are some other signs of blown shocks?

is the ride bouncy? get underneath the car and see if you can tell if maybe theyre leaking oil. Any aftermarket lowered springs will decrease the life of the stock shocks exponentially. They are not designed for lowered cars, and the springs rates are too stiff. Your ride quality will probably increase with aftermarket shocks

i haven't planned to change my shocks yet, cuz it's another 500 outa my pocket and im broke. bouncy...ya it's bouncier than it used to be. but my gf never complained so maybe it's just me feeling differently. do you think if i bring my car to honda, they will help me to check it out for free?
