i dont have any personal experience with the skunk2 springs, but ive heard they run on the harsh side, which if thats the case, the agx may have a difficult time damping those adequately. for a daily driven car, where comfort likely more important than all out performance, its going to depend on how much of a stiff ride you can take, but it may be on the stiff side. 400/350 gcs is higher than i would run on the street, but thats me.

right now im on stock with upgraded swaybars, tax return money is getting me tokico illuminas/h&r sports. the stock civic rates are 380/280, which should be fine, if a little stiff. a friend of mine is on 400/300 and i think its a little uncomfortable on less than perfect pavement. since there isnt much weight in the rear, it would seem logical that stiffening it would affect the ride more than stiffening the front, the engine weight can absorb some of the recoil

My b/f has tein full suspension, and it's amazing, a little bumpy but i dont mind! I just have Gold line springs on my EJ1 and it's a lot more smooth but not as good of performance!
