Look in our sponsor section, they have good deals on just about everything.

And personally, i'd go with the Koni Yellows. And before buying anything, search around and see what people recommend and read their reviews to see which shock will best fit your needs.

If you're drop is greater than 1.5" I wouldn't recommend AGX's. They're only warrantied for drops up to 1.5" and not meant for high spring rates. I have AGX's, because my drop is only .75"

I agree, also, if you have a 91 Integra, they don't make the rear set of KYB AGXs for 90-93 Integras, so you will have to order the ones for the 94-01 Integra/92-95 Civic. They will bolt right up, although they are a slightly different size. You can then either run 90-93 AGXs in the front, or swap out front drop forks and use 94-01 Integra/92-95 Civic ones.

With a big drop, I would go with Koni Yellows though. But if you do need to save money, the AGXs are only $300 and will do ok for awhile, although you will void the warranty and need new ones eventually.

I have H&R OE's on my car which have a relatively low spring rate. I don't have any problems with bouncing. To the original poster, you're going to want a shock that has the valving to handle the spring rate you're running.

Im considering getting the KYB AGXs for a 93 DA. Are there any problems that you know of as a result of using rear 94 DC AGXs in this setup? If there are, I may end up going with Omnipower or Skunk 2 coilovers instead. BTW Im not sure If I would get sleeves or simply lowering springs if I used AGXs.
