Default is this an ok setup

tokico hp blues and tein stech?
Reason im asking is that im getting a great deal for all of this. I know that after everything is installed, i need to get everything aligned and as well im gettin the ingalls kits as well just in case i needed.
The shocks complete set for 296 and the springs 150, i just want to know if its something that ill notice while driving, and not worry about my shocks? its all goin on my 96 accord.
I remember i messed up by placing skunk2 coilovers on my 94 teg and i blew my rear shocks easily after 2 moths

Not a good setup.

Tokico HP's (blue shocks) are not much more than just OEM replacement shocks.

Also, a camber kit will not be needed. Save your money on the parts and extra labor cost of having to get the camber adjusted during the alignment. Just get the toe set correctly and go.

A good 4-wheel alignment that sets the toe shouldn't be more than about $60.

It will be a very soft setup. Good for ride quality but the car will still feel like a boat.

Ride quality will be *** once the shocks blow. And they will blow if the drop is any more than about 3/4" or so.

Not entirely true. Have you tested some tokico blues to come to that conclusion? Because I rode my tokico blues on full drop, let say there was no bump travel, and I took them out recently to put a new set-up in and they're fine.
