Default suspension specialist... need a little help

a set of h&r race springs (98 civic) for my 94 del sol. now i need a set of shocks/struts.

i've read bottoming out, bump stops, hacking, etc... because of the rates and drop of those springs, what set of shocks/struts can i just toss on my car (plug and play) that i wouldn't have to worry about any problems at all. i'm a simple person. i just want them not to blow or malfunction in any way. ride quality, handling, performance issues i care little of. i appreciate it.

Just and FYI you have shocks on your car.... but depends on what you do.

Tockico Illuminas are good street shock
KYB AGX are good street shock
Koni Reds are a better street/perfomance shock
Koni Yellows are best. Street/track/perfomance
