Default question and springs and shock combo

I was just wondering how the ride is with H&R sport springs with aftermarket shocks (eg. KYB AGX, Tokico Illuminas, and Koni Yellow). Doesnt necessarily have to be H&R sport springs. Other springs also. Is the ride just as stiff as skunk2 with KYBs? Would it even feel stiff?

Stiffness of ride is dicated by the shock. Bounciness is dicated by the springs.

Go with Bilsteins, the lower your car and the stiffer your springs the more they blow your mind, but more importantly they'll increase handling and thus safety.

Oh yeah, KYB GR-2's ares the stiffest shocks I've come across. They feel like freaking solid sticks.

Thanks for the reply. I really hate the way my car is running right now. Very soft and sh*tty. Which shock do you recommend with Skunk2 (Civic rates)?
