Default Shocks Sugestion for 1990 DX

This is a daily driver. It will have skunk2 teg rate coilovers on it (I know...maybe a bit stiff)...what shocks would you recommend. I am essentially looking for anything besides the stock shocks that have 205k miles on them.

And btw...if anyone has any shocks they are selling...right here!

Maybe KYB AGX shocks? I love them. I don't have the coilover kit on them, just lowering springs, but they are fantastic for my daily driving! ('99 Civic CX)

i wouldn't go any stiffer than 50% over the stock rates or lower than 1.25" with the agxs. don't get me wrong, they are great shocks for their intended spec range.

for your setup, riot, i would go with bilsteins (non adjustable) or koni yellows (adjustable).

Bilsteins are soft but you're best bang for the buck mono-tube-design!
