Still learning about car supensions from reading these forums and would like to find out some peoples opions on a good pair of struts/shocks. I currently have a honda civic hatch 93 15" rims which i plan to upgrade to 17" rims in the future and would like to replace the current shot coilovers(which came with the car when i bought them) i have with springs/struts. I am planning getting about 1.6 - 1.8 drop and the green Tein springs but was unsure as what shock/sturts to get. my budget both for the lowering springs (Tein) and shock/struts is around $650 but i'll strech it a bit more if i feel i need something better. From looking around on the forums and surfing the net i've come across these diiferent strut/shocks.

1. KYB GR-2 Gas Shocks
2. KYB AGX Struts/Shocks
3. Tokico Illumina Adjustable Struts/Shocks
4. koni - sport(yellow)

anyone know if one is better or would provide more of a comfortable ride than the other?

 

I would get Koni adjustables and H&R or Skunk2 Springs.

 

i have tokico hp blues with s-tech tein springs on my 00 civic coupe and its a great ride.

 

i have heard good things about the koni yellows and people say they are the best. i have them sitting in my room right now and am waiting on my ground control coilovers. i say go with koni myself. if not, tokico illumnas. as far as springs go-- h&r sport, tein s-tech, and eibach pro kit are some good ones to look into.

 

Konis are the best

 

Thanks for all of your opinions i'll probably go with the koni's
