front struts problems
I have a 03 Civic SI with lowering springs and stock struts, but the problem its with the front struts that are very sensitive on all bumps on the road, I just want to know if I have to change the struts o get a full coilover kit I was thinking to buy tokico hp struts or buy a skunk2 pro coilover kit. Please help me

its because you prolly have crappy *** lowering springs on your stock struts....spend the money and get a good coilover setup depending on what you want and need. Either a full kit like FF's, D2's, PIC, etc...or a combo such as Koni/GC.

Welcome to the forums
So what brand springs do you have? If they're some off-brand, that's probably your problem. And what do you mean "sensitive"? Do you mean it's bouncy, the ride is harsh, what? If you mean it's bouncy, it's your shocks (technically speaking you probably shouldn't use lowering springs with stock shocks, but it's not that bad to do). If it's harsh and rides rough, it's because the high spring rates your springs probably have.
Overall, going with a full coilover kit or a good coilover sleeve & shock combo will yield better results than just throwing brand X springs with brand Y shocks together.
