Default 2000 Honda Civic EX Coupe OEM Shock Replacement

I have a 2000 Honda Civic Ex Coupe and I want to replace my OEM shocks with Tokico Blues and I want to keep my stock springs. Will these shocks work fit my stock spings or are these stock springs too big for these shocks. If so what other shocks should I look into? Thanks.

I did extensive searching on this and I cannot find a suitable answer to this particular question.

I have Tokico blues on my 00 EX and yes the stock springs will work.
I went with the Tokico strut and spring package,it only lowered the car slightly and I had no alignment issues,rides like stock.

I'm currently running tokico blues with stock springs, no issues at all, blues are basically just a stock replacement shock.

I had tokico blue with eibach springs and ride was a little bouncy.
The tokico blues were pretty confy. I notices a differance in braking with the tokico did hold the car weigh pretty good, but it think the springs did most of that though. If you want handling get subframe brace, little negitive camber, strut bar, or ect....

Yes, but I was comparing blown original shocks from '94 with 370,000kms on them to brand new Tokico blues with brand new OEM honda springs and bump stops. If your stock shocks are in good shape you probably wont notice any difference.
