Default which springs are better do you think?

ok right now I have skunk2 lowering springs on stock shocks I like the height the springs set it at and I love skunk 2 stuff but I know I need new shocks. There is a wrecked crx si of my down at a local shop that has tokico blues with neuspeed springs on it (I don't know what kind they are but they are yellow if that helps)
My question is should I just buy the shocks or should I get the neuspeed dprings too I want input on your guys opinions of which would be better...thanx
Casey

one thing ive learned is dont go cheap on suspension. id go after koni yellows or tokico illiminas and try ur skunk2s out, if u dont like them try out coilovers if u can still afford it.

I was just asking because I already have skunk2 lowering springs and I found a crx wrecked with tokico blues and neuspeed springs and I was wondering if the neuspeed would be an improvement over my skunk2's thanx for the input and I know someday I would like to have upgrade my suspension to something nice but right now I just don't got the money......college...go figure...but yeah do you guys think I should pick up the neuspeeds or keep my skunks?

the yellow nuspeed springs are the "race" spring that they make. Im not a big fan, the ride was too soft and i kept bottoming out everywhere. even with tokiko blues.

good to know thanx man....yeah my skunk2 are pretty soft and they bottom out a little bit I think it is just because the offset on my wheels isn't right for the car and the tires are too wide...mainly in the back...but I hope these tokicos will help until I can get new tires
