Default Koni STR.T's with what lowering springs?

i have stock struts and tein lowering springs right now. I do not like the teins. I want to know what lowering springs i should pair with Koni STR.T's? I will be running 15" rota wheels.

haha sorry forgot to add all the details.

The car is a 93 civic cx, with a b18c swap, It had the tein lowering springs when i bought it, it is a monster truck still. I want it to handle well for aspirated driving. But i do live in PA and roads are terrible here.

oh you must have the s techs. i also think they are too low for the street, buuuuuut they are popular here with the ridin dumped crowd. on the teg the tein springs actually have a good rate. on the civic, not so much. they are really soft and really low. my two thoughts are teg teins. if you bought the teg h techs and they were too tall you could cut to height since the 94-01 teg springs fit. the other thought is the ebiach sportline.

usually a good choice as well. i just like knowing rates before i buy any spring. you can go to team integra and get the teg rates if you use its spring. no clue on the civic, they always seem to wind them lighter

that is still a larger difference than the kyb's though. Are the koni sports really worth that much

what price are you paying for the agx? aren't they like $395 shipped? for 55 bucks more koni is a no brainer. if you can get the agx near 300 it might be another story. they aren't a half bad shock for lowering springs or up to maybe 400lbs on a GC setup
