I would not get Tokico "blue" non-adjust. The shocks are ok, and happy with them when it was new. As it get's old after two years, I can feel it going. They are not bad, it's just that I could have gotten something better (Koni) if I was to pool more $$$ together and waited.

This does not answer your question on what to get, but I hope if help you on what not to get.

KYB's with ground controll or any quality spring. I had neu race last year and it was really stiff. The ground controll arnt anywhere as stiff. But over all Im very happy with the kyb's forsure!

95 hatch
1st ~ Tokico Illuminas and lowering springs
2nd H&R ~ cup kit (koni yellows and H&R race springs)
current ~ koni yellows and GC 425f/300r springs

The Koni's and GC's are working really well thus far, I should have done them first off instead of my other choices.
