I've been reading in the search area for about 30 mins and still am having trouble making up my mind. I want to go with H&R race springs and KYB AGX, but I keep hearing the KYB's will wear out with the H&R's.

What shock for around 350-450 will be good for H&R race springs?

It sounds like Koni yellows but I'm not too sure on good pricing for those.

 

man this forum moves like mollasses

 

I've been running my H&R Sport's w/ AGX's for a year and half. I love the shocks. I say go with AGX's

 

Well, that's my boot with H&R race. I keep reading that the AGX's will blow out eventually with such a low spring. I'm thinking to tokico's will last longer with that low of a drop.

 

I also read that, But it's up to you wether you want to spend the extra money. I think I'm going to buy some function / form's. Maybe check them out.

 

I've been looking at those. Aren't they around $800? I don't quite want to spend that much. that's why i'm leaning towards 450-500 with H&R race and illuminas. Maybe KYB. What about the Koni red? can it handle a low drop? Adjustability?

Don't bother with the Koni Reds. The Function / Forms Type I's are $675 shipped for a dc2. Message Pworld and talk to him. I've got several friends who bought and love them.

 

get the koni yellows

 

for $500 I findn them a few hundred more than I'm wanting to spend bro. They're still in the background thoughts though.

 

I'd save up for the function / forms. But if you don't have the cash for them or the yellows, Get the agx's

 

agx's > tokico's?

Edit: On the Agx's it says not to use them with a drop more than 1.5"

 

Anyone awake this morning?

 

My Sports are lower than 1.5 inch drop. Been fine for a year and half

 

yep but the race lower 2.25 in the front and 2" in the back.

I have the neuspeed race which are pretty much similar. I have the Tokico Blue and they lasted 2 years but they are finished. I don't have the same performance I had when they were new. I posted a question about this a while back and got no response so I posted in the 92-00 civic section and got a much better turn out.

Archidictus said that I was lucky to have lasted that long on the blues. He told me that for the Neuspeed race I should go with the Koni Yellow as they are better suited for a lower drop. Also he wasn't the only one to mention that!

SO next spring I will be getting some Koni Yellow. I hope that helps!

If you're going to spend $500 for koni yellows + the price of the springs you might was well go with the Function/Form coilover's.

 

If you want a shock you can change the springs with in the future, get the Koni's. If you want your car to look good use the stock shocks. AGX's are basicly stock replacements. Well maybe a 1/2 a step up from there.

 

Stock shocks will blow with a 2.5" drop holmes. And i'm sure the AGX's will too.

 

Did I forget to add in the (sarcasm).

AGX's are not made to go to 2.5 either. Koni's would be the proper shock to go with.

 

AGX's get my vote

 

Well, like I said, the koni's are a little more out of my price range.

Tokico's are in my price range. I'm not biased to them or anything, but adjustable shocks that perform well in this price range are what I'm looking for.

 

The Tokico's will control a stronger spring than the AGX's. Get those at least.

 

I went with the H&R / Tokico Illumina setup on my old hatch- I absoluetly loved it, and if it wasnt for the fact that i woud like to run a nice coilover setup on my new car i woudl go with it again- Good stuff
