Default Need Damper (Shock) Replacement Recommendation

I've got a 94 Integra GSR-Sedan with 130,000 miles. It's my daily driver. I'm getting a serious clunk in front on both sides over bumps, sometimes even small ones, and under firm breaking. I suspect that it's either dampers or ball joints.

If it is dampers, I'd like to have recommendations on what I should use for replacements. It is a daily driver but I'm a fairly aggressive driver.

Thanks

Sounds like you need some new lower balljoints. I had the same issue but have since replaced both balljoints and the problem has gone away.

If you want to upgrade your struts, the KYB GR-2's are a nice upgrade for relatively cheap.

I agree...balljoints are in need of replacement. As for shocks, I run the KYB AGX, which is a step up from the GR-2, and 4 way adjustable. I got them on ebay for around $330 shipped.
