Thinking the same thing, got H&R race and my stock shocks are just about gone. The springs are stiff as hell though, Which is what I like. Dont know what to get.

Re: H&R Springs... what shocks? (RecoilZ)
Get the Koni yellows(these r nice) or KYB adjustable shocks if r going for low budget. i had KYB adjustables on my sentra before with Sprint spings and it takes the turns nice, better than my Civic with Tokico illuminas and Neuspeed Racing springs. if ur going to buy KYB shocks, go to coximports.com or coximport.com. They have good prices and they ship it fast, i got mine in two days with free shipping.

i just got h&r race springs too. I'll be puting them on my stock shocks tomorrow. How long will they last before they blow? I been doing some research on the Dropzone shocks and I hear for the money they are not bad.

Re: H&R Springs... what shocks? (pr_tony_montana)
thanx for such a quick reply... koni or kyb sounds good.. mine were installed in october, and they are slowly wearing away... so if that gives you an idea of how long the stock shocks will do... thanx again

Re: H&R Springs... what shocks? (14toda)
hmmm, depends where u live and how much driving u do. The stock shocks will last for like a year or so, thats if ur stock shocks are brand new. If u were going to get stock shocks again i would get the 94-01 integra shocks because they are rated to hold more weight.

I had H&R race springs on stock shocks and they blew within 6 months and the ride got horrible. I replaced with neuspeed koni yellows, and it was a night and day difference! I highly recommend you go with koni yellows because they are made to handle more of a drop, I wouldnt go on more than a 2 inch drop with KYBs.

Dont go dropzone. Too many suspensions ruined. Save your money for KYB AGX or Koni Yellows

Same here but thinking of upgrading springs. I agree with the majority, Koni Yellows are an awesome shock, and I daily drive on mine with no problems.

Out of the two (KYB AGX or the Koni Yellows) which has the softer ride? I'm worried about getting my car lowered (only 1.5" all around) and having the ride be too hard.

Re: H&R Springs... what shocks? (civic_hatchy)
I have the H&R springs on my stock shocks, and I also have a set of tokico illuminas sitting around with one broken thread (front) is it worth buying a new tokico or just save the money and get a different set. These shocks were given to me.

Re: H&R Springs... what shocks? (ocdcivic)
sell the shocks and buy new ones. Tokico illuminas are pretty good shocks but twice as much as KYB AGX shocks and i rate them the same. I got Tokico illuminas because my friend sold it to me for $150 with the Neuspeed racing springs.
