Default Skunk2 sport shocks question

Hello ya’ll. New to this but looking for a decent setup for a DD/canyon carver. Im driving a 91 civic wagon with a janky setup for suspenion right now. Blown Skunk2 sport shocks from when they have the yellow bushings (they’re black now, dont know what the difference is besides color), skunk rear loweringing springs and skunk coilover sleeve up front. Didn’t put the lowering springs in the front cuz i wanted an even ride height, they say its an inch to an inch and a half difference between the front and rear springs. Don’t know whether to keep it skunk with the shocks since they have a lowered perch that works with the lowering springs or go with something else. if i do go with something else, probably gonna be the koni/gc setup. Let me know what ya’ll think.

Konis. You already blew through the SK2 shocks and they weren’t that great in the first place (I had a set at one point so I’m not just here talking ****) so don’t keep throwing good money after bad. If it’s too much to do the coil overs now you can keep your SK2 springs for a while. Just keep the circlips all the way UP on the new shocks since those springs are very low. On that note, if you’ve got the thing slammed you’ll be sad in the canyons no matter what your setup is.
