Yellows.

i've had an EK with GC/Blue setup....didn't like it at all. Now I have an eg with GC/Yellows....love it! Granted, they're not the same cars but just to give you an idea.

And my buddy has a 2nd gen integra with Neuspeed Race and Blues....not a very nice ride.

Check out the Tokico illuminas (adjusable)- you will be much happier than with the blues

The Koni's. There is really no comparison. If you are on a budget go with the Tokico Illuminas but I would still recommend the Konis.

The question is more How are you driving?
Are you doing track time?
Are you an hardcore?
Do you have the guts
Do you have money?
Are those race coil?

If you answer yes for all of the above....your ready to experience the Koni.
I have them on my Rex with race coil.
I have done some track time this summer and all I can say, it is trully a good set-up.Even a racer took a ride in my car and agree.

Can't go wrong with yellow.
Unless you like 4" drop,bling style wheels and Caddy softness....(I'm kiddinG)

What I reccomend, in the world of shocks:

1.TEIN
2. Koni Yellows
3. KYB AGX
4. Tokico Illuminas

Starting with the best, and going down
Theres a reason you dont see me list tokico blues

koni yellows are said to work well with up to a max 400-500lb/in spring rate
very well. personally, I only have them in the front and wheel hop and dive are almost elimnated, however I know if I had them in the rear also I would accelerate more surely for the sake of traction. budget modding sometimes gets tricky. anywhoo. I would use either HR Sport, Eibach ProKit, Comptech Sport or a custom Ground Control Coil Over and order the springrate I need. Konis Rule...

that is all a matter of preference and what you plan on doin' with the car....my koni's/GC's are coming with 550# front and 600# rear springs, but I autoX my car and don't care that the ride is goin' to jar my fillings out
