Default Which Suspension is better for an ep3

So I'm not sure if I want the Tokicos D-Spec, or the koni yellows. I can get the Koni's for 630 shipped and the D-spec for 500 shipped. I think the D-spec is 16 way adjustable. I just want a nice ride that I can change from aggressive cornering to smooth for long trips. What are your guys takes on these shocks. I trust the great people of Honda-Tech. Thanks in advance.

Do a search for Ep3 suspension advice in archived content, this same question comes up about twice a week. There is plenty of info on your question.

I hate Tokicos, so I'd shell out the extra 100 w/e for the Konis. Or just get some dirt cheap joints

I'm guessing you've never owned/rode a car with Dspecs.

I have Tokico Dspecs. They are amazing. Easy to adjust (~3 minutes for all 4). Absolutely no problems after 50,000 miles. Still stiff as ever. #1 for killing body roll. My buddy with an Evo (stock shocks/springs) likes the feel of my ride more than his Evo. Like I said, NO problems. If they ever go out, I'll buy another set.

I currently have D2 Coils on the car, and are swapping them out for DSpecs and H&R springs after taking a ride in a car that has DSpecs.

I've heard nothing but positive reviews about them from people that actually have them installed.

Yeah, I'm using the Tokico springs assigned for the shocks. You can get them as a kit.
