Rep Power: 0 close to stock? Why would you spend that kind of money for a "close to stock" ride. Civics, although they come with a decent suspension, are very bouncy and have a very rigid ride. You should have just put on some ProKits if you didn't want to change much. You could have done those easily yourself and saved about a grand.

Rep Power: 0 I like how mine handle. When i drive to and from work my rear end would bounce up and down. My rear end would also go flying around the corners. I'm not sure how they compare to stock, but compared to blown struts they are great. With my blown struts driving over a manhole cover would feel like I hit a landmine. I have tokicos and h&r springs. Now my car can corner at much higher speeds. Driving at higher speeds also feels more stable. Driving on rough roads is still liveable. Now I just wish I had better tires so the ones I have now won't squel so much around corners.

Rep Power: 0 I have had my Tokico's for about 3 weeks. I love them. I do a lot of street driving and a short 8 mile stretch of highway everyday. They were a HUGE improvement over the stock struts. My ride was super bouncy on my sportline springs. Now the car rides smooooth.

Rep Power: 0 if tokicos are full replacement, do they come with an upper mount? My struts click/crack every time I turn the wheel. Would these come with whatever I need to stop that? I could buy these in about a week if so????
