Default Tein Dirt Master Springs

Has anyone ever used the Dirt master type gravel or the Dirtramaster type HG shocks?

How do they do in the dirt and how do they perform on the street?

I am curious because i live in an area with alot of dirt and gravel roads, like the only road to out of Labrador, which is a 500km dirt road. so these shocks could be what i'm looking for as long as they are liveable on the streets.

I know they are a tad extreme, but if i'm gonna put money into my civics suspension, i don't want it to fall apart on me in this kind of condition. I have only driven trucks for the past 3-4 years and even those have taken a beating from the road (trans Labrador highway)

this is the tein page with all the springs struts, coilovers and stuff that they offer for the 96-00 civics and their spring rates and ride height change for each kind.

like i said it is overboard, but very interesting if i ever stop using my car as a DD and start to really work some serious fun into it.
I've always dabbled in dirt racing in my truck. I've always loved rally raing cars and prerunner trucks, so it's always a very expensive but awesome option.

shells are pretty easy to come by anyway, so even flipping it wouldn't mean much...

never worried about it in my truck and i think it was more likely in that beast. The great thing about Labrador is the hundreds of miles of uninhabited wilderness, but plenty of dirt and gravel roads that lead to nowhere. tons of fun to be had for the dirt racer in all of us.
