Default Rear Suspension for 88???

What do you guys suggest as the best rear shock combo with H&R race springs? Oh and without changing to 89-91 LCA's!!! I have KYB agx's in the front but they only make the rears for 89-91 lca's
any suggestions...? Ive had both tokico blues and gr-2's and they suck ***

No it won't raise the car. The spring does that, not the damper.

I have a set of Spoon ITR stuff in my car.... I have yet to have any problems.

I am using the ITR/'88 Civic/CRX Koni yellow shocks on the rear of my car - same part number. They also have 3 different perch settings for height.
