Default New Struts/Shocks for SH w/ Skunk2 Coil Sleeves

My brother needs new aftermarket shocks BAD. His are completely blown and bottomed out. He has Skunk2 coilover sleeves on stock struts right now. I know, I told him that would be extremely bouncy.

It's a 99 Prelude SH. I tried searching and could really come up with an answer. Can I use base model aftermarket shocks on his SH since we are already using aftermarket springs/coils? Or is there SH specific shocks?

TIA.

There is SH-specific info in the Prelude forum.

Tokico HP should do fine, right?

What about KYB GR2? Are those comparable to the Tokico's?

HP's and GR-2's are stock replacements only, really. NOT good for any significant lowering or springs stiffer than stock.
