Default Reccommended shocks

Hey everyone. Sping and summer are approaching and I want to get some rims and tires, but before all that I know I should take of the suspension first. I'm in the process of purchasing Eibach Prokit springs for my 1996 DX hatch. I wanted to know what shocks would go well with these. Keep in mind that I'm a college student with limited cash, so I'm looking for the best price to performance ratio available... Also if you could please recommend some good rim sizes and brands. Currently on my car are some stock 13in rims and my car is a daily driver back and forth to school.

I have the same setup, and I also got the Eibach pro damper kit. It rides pretty good to me, and plus they have the million mile warranty so I cant complain about that. Although someone else might have a different say about them. I got them for $275 from here http://www.optionsauto.com/

I actually got the Eibach Sprotline springs for a better price what do you guys think of the KYB GR2s, Tokico HP, or Koni red?

of those 3, koni red. the gr2 and the blues wont be able to adequately handle the increased spring rates of the sportlines, which are 310f/275r vs stock of 165f/80r
