Actually..I'm using that setup right now. Reason why is I'm selling the car...so I took the GroundControls/Camber Kits off. Anyways, you should be fine...a bit stiff for stock...but totally fine.

why not get the illuminas?? they will last longer and you can always adjust the stiffness of the ride..those blue ones are not that durable..that's why they're so cheap...

Re: TOKICO HP SHOCKS (initial_B)
I've had my blues for 1 and a half years now on my civic with Neuspeed Race springs, and they aren't blown. I like them. My friend has the Illuminas and they feel the same, even with it adjusted all the way to the stiffest setting. IMO having them with coilovers is why they blow so quickly.

Re: TOKICO HP SHOCKS (deepnite)
what kinda shocks do you guys recommend if i have coilovers??
Why is it when you go ask somenone for shocks at a parts store, they say that i can only put in struts cuz the civic comes with struts and not shocks.
Where is the best place to buy (the cheapest) koni yellows??

However, my friend has them with his sportlines and they are still goin strong.
