I would (and did) spend the extra money for some koni yellows myself, I've never owned tokicos and haven't really heard anything bad about them, but just never really trusted them.

I have tokico illuminas on my car and have had no issues.

Id find a less aggressive drop springs though, My buddy had the same setup youre looking at there and those Ksport springs are going to dump your car onto its face, tucking tire.

man i have the HP's on my Del Sol, with Tein springs. now the reason for the springs is the Tokico ones that came in the kit didnt lower my car at all. now i have not had any problems with them at all (had them on the car for over 5yrs) and for a DD there nice. i would love to have a full adj set up, but i already have theses. now my friend has the Adj. version and loves them also. i rode in that car for a year and it was nice and smooth. for the price and if your not racing they are good shocks. but thats just my opinion.

Don't waste your money.

If you have to cheap out on suspension buy the Progress CS-II setup. It's $579 new. And you can pick custom springrates.

i like tokico shocks. I'm riding in Tokico Illuminas right now and i love them so I would imagine cheaper HPs would be good quality as well

You'd be wrong. HP's while fine for mild setups, any normal honda drop will wear them out quickly. They aren't designed for performance damping or high spring rates.

Hp shocks are essentially oem replacements.

I've run my Illuminas for 100k miles. The rear springs from their kit have started to sag and my rear wheels are slightly tucked, so gotta change out those springs, but all 4 shocks are still good.
