Arrow Struts for my springs????

So I picked up a set of tein s.tech springs and was wondering what shocks would be the best to run.... I want a more smooth ride than performance i want drive ability i live in Illinois so theres all kinds of weather changes snow, ice, rain, and gravel roads.... plus not to mention our streets here suck... so any advice or help would really be appreciated..... Im also runin 17" ADR Mach 8..... I'm sure that would factor into some peoples suggestions....

thanks
sean

ehhh, i can't say much about dropzones...personally i'd never buy them, just the name alone keeps me away but thats not the only reason. i mention Tokico HP's and KYB GR2's because i have good personal experience with both and both are very well known and proven shocks.

i wouldnt buy dropzone after seeing a picture of what happened to a set when someone intalled them on their civic wasnt pretty. if you got tiens stech you can run stock struts or the hps by tokico.
