When I had my 4door I tried different things and experimented. First I started off with drop springs (SPRINT 2.5") on stock struts. Sprint is *** do not buy these nor anything from e-bay that costs under $150...except for TEIN or SKUNK2. I liked those 2 spring makes, but they were limited in what I can do. So I wanted to go one step up and buy myself Coil Over Sleeves. DROP ZONE is *** very bouncy like the Sprint springs. I thought that maybe my struts were so old and mushy that maybe if I bought new struts that it may help with stiffening the ride. No, it turns out that the DZ's are just ***. I had my KYB GR-2's, now what am I going to use for sleeves. I shopped around and discovered only 3 major brands that I could consider. Skunk2, Omni Power, and Ground Control. About a couple years ago, SK2 and OP were basically one in the same as the OP owner came from SK2, and The GC's were just too damn expensive and still are. So I asked for opinions about the SK2 and OP's, and they both came back with positive responses and some cons. So it just came down to what was available for the lowest price. I found this guy who was selling his Omni Power sleeves for like $125 shipped....I wasn't going to pass that up.
After putting them onto my KYB GR-2's and took it for the first test drive.. I was in love, the ride was firm but not too bouncy. And I could adjust the ride height which was a huge excitement on my part. When I drove from home to work or if I had my wife drive it, I had a very conservative height..like 2.5 fingerwidth's...when I took shots or went to meets I took it down to either nearly slammed or about 1 fingerwidth. When I had my ROTA Subzero's I could slam like crazy and not be concerned about fender rubbing, the wheels were 15x6.5. But when I bought my ATECH Weapons they are 15X7 and with 50 series tires I had some Mad fenderwell rubbing when I made hard turns. solution: roll the fenders....not too difficult but time consuming. You only get one shot.
So here's the kicker when I sold my civic I said there's no way that I am losing my suspension set up, I kept them and put some other stuff on the civic...good quality as the car went to my cousin..but I wanted to keep my OP's.
Now, I have a DA and I now have KYB AGX for EG in front and stock DA struts in back. I still have my GR-2's...but I like it the way it is. I can still do some hard turns and never worry.

This is the longest reply I have ever given. So good luck and I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please feel free to pm me and we can discuss more options.

My Final Opinion...the AGX's are definitely a decent entry level damper. Get what you can afford but don't sacrifice...and don't over spend if you don't intend to take the car to the track. And don't be afraid to ask for opinions and questions.
Peace

Ha ha ...the perfectionist that I am...I came back into this and made some edits.
