I used Tein S-Techs with stock shocks on my daily for about a year(approx 10k miles). I was very happy with them. Then it got stolen.

Comfy ride that didn't bother me or my passengers. Close to stock.

Price is not too bad either.

Handling was comparable to stock.

stock is the best, the honda engineers are VERY good at what they do.

if you run on 15" w/ 50 series tires, i would say the ksport w/ 9k front, 7k rear spring rate will be very nice. it's firm but not harsh at all. function & form's standard 8k front, 6k rear is also nice off the shelf.
