Tokico HPs ("blues") and KYB GR-2s are both inexpensive replacements for stock dampers. If you're running stock springs, I'd recommend either of those two.

'94-01 3dr and 4dr Integras do indeed use the same dampers (which are additionally the same part as used on most 92-95 Civics) except for Type-R trim.

What makes you think you need new ones? The OEM Showa dampers don't often go bad. Are they leaking? Does the car continue oscillating more than once over bumps?

Thanks, I was thinking about both of those options. The car has about 120,000 miles now and the OEM shocks aren't completely gone but they are oscillating more than before.

besides, i'm thinking about getting H&R OE Sport springs also. do you think either of those shocks would hold up well with the H&R's?
