I am giving the positives and negatives so you can evaluate for yourself. Plus not many people on here have half of those. The ones so far that most people have are Konis and Tokico blues so I really can't evaluate how they perform if no one is writing a review.

if you're just looking for a comfortable street ride you should consider tockicos they give good street performance at a much lower cost than konis, if you wanna do autocrossing then konis seem to be the way to go.

I'm not sure but I think I remember someone saying you need to drill a hole or something, I don't really remember, hopefully someone smarter will come on here and lay it out.

Reading > you

READ THIS
All shocks, except for konis, are made for a 2001-2002, so the mount bolts are 14mm not 16mm like in the 2003+. Either you will have to drill them out or hope that the company makes a set for you guys. The can be put on your 2003+ but you run the risk of the mount bolts coming loose and the shock changing camber. There is a rumor that tokico has made 2003+ shocks for the blues, but I am not sure yet.

No one has them. Call tokico and ask if they come without springs, but I doubt it. Seem like a good deal, but don't know until someone tries them.

Back to topic of updating shock/damper info. PrcCivic, use the thread by curiousfish to ask more questions about the d-specs. Everyone else, please use the threads started to ask questions about specific shocks that aren't answered here.

Seems like D specs are geared more toward racing. AGX only has 4 or 8 way adjustability. If you plan on racing, I would stick with the d specs or konis. AGX might be a decent alternative, but may not provide enough adjustment. Just my 2 cents.
