    Im using KYB AGX shocks with Ground control coilovers and the ride is great. No bouncing, really firm ride. This has been a great combo for me so far.

    I have Tokico struts the blue ones with Proactive adj. and springs but the springs are for a 5th gen civic works prety good.... It all just depends on how you drive and what kind of performance you want to get?????

    hehe...i could go on for days on this...but i'll stick to the basic's

    For everday driving, just so the car feels good but not rough

    Shocks: Tociko illuminas
    Springs: Progress or Eibach prokit
    Front strut tower (nuespeed by far)
    Rear sway bar for sure (if your not gonna auto-x or road race you can pick up a front one too)
    And if the car has ALOT of miles, maybe some energy bushings all around.

    Ok...now if we gave habib enough money to build the ultimate civic suspenion hee hee...it would probaly go something like this...

    Shocks: Tociko illuminas
    Coilovers: Ground controls
    Springs: Eibach custom rate
    Front: 350-400 lbs
    Rear: 400-450 lbs
    Energy suspenion bushings everywhere
    Neuspeed front strut tower
    22mm rear swaybar
    possibly a lower frame brace in the rear, and maybe another on the front
    Roll cage to really stiffen it up
    Custom camber and toe settings blah blah blah...
    205 tires instead of 195's (if i could get them not to rub to much)

    Eh, you guys can see i have alot of free time on my hands wink
