Default Curious about shocks for my FA5!! HELP!!! SUSPENSION GURU'S

I currently have the eibach sportline springs on stock shocks. Am looking into getting better shocks. My friend suggest KYB like his 00 Si has, But I cant find KYB for my year. I found on here a week or so ago but cant seem to find it again that someone posted a poll on different shocks for his civic 06+, and the majority said Skunk2 sport shocks. Told my friend this says he ha never heard of them. So i was wondering if anyone else had an info that could assist me in the right purchase..

Thanks...

Your choices for direct replacement struts/shocks are Tokico HP and Skunk2 Sport Shocks. Though pricing is not listed allversionperformance.com has the best price I have seen on the Skunk units. The Skunk2 Sport shock is a new product, but has a shorter body and rod for improved suspension travel. S2 for my vote!

I'm thinking of getting some Skunk2 sport shocks to go along with the H-Tech springs I installed about 1 month ago on my 08 FG2. Right now I'm not too satisfied with the ride quality with the OEM struts/shocks.

Well the stock shocks are really good. They are know to get alout of miles on them and last for a long time.

I put a whole set of KYB's on my si, according to the sight I got mine from KYB does not recommend the shocks I got for my si.

They have made the suspension slightly softer but that may be because the originals were crap.

I got my shocks here there is a coupon GOOG5 to save a few bucks

KONI adjustables anyone? They are big in the racing industry for a reason and are what we have been running for about 10 years now. Very nice, maybe a little pricey, but worth it. What are you looking to do? Corner better or have a softer ride? Does Skunk2 actually make their shocks or are they made for them like so many others?
