Default accord shocks on 90 hatch

i just recently bought coilovers and i decieded to get new shocks also. i have tokico blue's all around right now, but there in pretty bad shape. i also want to go with those again, but i heard that the ones for the 90 civic hatch are fine for the back but that it is better to go with accord in the front because they have more travel with coilovers? got some advice?

Accord ones like mentioned for the front is the way to go.

The other thing I had heard, is that the 88-91 Civic Wagon rear shocks, give you the same effect that the Accord fronts do, essentially lower the car more and give more travel but I couldn't find info.

I'm going to pick up my 88-91 Wagon rear shocks tonight, and I will be comparing them to my 88-91 Civic hatch rears and taking pictures to finally put this to end.
