Alright so this is my story..... i bought my prelude SH with some skunk2 coilovers and it's lowered about 2 inches i think and i cant fit any fingers. Anyways, i was going up my driveway and my springs popped. i took it to my friends shop and he put an oem spring on. Now, everytime i drive, i bottom out everytime there is a dip.... what should i do? get a whole set of skunk2s? or can i raise it and maybe itll balance out?

You'll have to raise to stock height. Stock springs are designed with a softer rebound rate that requires more travel along the strut. Aftermarket struts dont have much room for a spring to travel on, which is why you need after market springs which are harder. Stock springs on aftermarket struts will not have enough room to travel for them to build up the dampening force to max and rebound back.
