96 civic D16y7 begginer

[jbullet93]

hey everyone, I'm new to the site and so far i love it, I'm a beginner on cars but i love doing DIy projects so i got me a 96 white civic with red 16' icw wheels! i bought it from a friend of mine but wasn't aware of the problem thats killing me right now!

He installed APX shocks and Ebay coilovers and they suck a*%#. how can i fix this? i thought about getting tein s tech's but would they work with the shocks it has on? or will i need to upgrade shocks too?
please don't give me a hard time I'm new at this like i said, ANY help will be highly appreciated

Thanks I've seen those before! but I'm in a tight budget and sorry to ask but whats better Springs Or coil overs?

coilovers are better in terms of handling and height adjustability. Good set for someone not to worried about lowering the car as much as possible or handling like a race car are Progress CS2 coilovers. If all you want is something close to stock for a cheap price get some koni, tokico, or kyb shocks and some H&R, Eibach, Tien, or Progress springs
