what kind of shocks should I go with?

I need shocks for my car, i've got Skunk2 coilovers and I need to get gas shocks since the ride is way too bumpy...any suggestions?

so far i found tokico and koni to be the best, which ones should i go with, koni (yellow, red, etc.) or the tokico blue which ones are better?

Any other suggestions on a setup. Thanks.

its a 2001 honda civic ex coupe.

I've heard from people here that skunk 2 coilovers don't fit with aftermarket shocks?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well... Given that Konis fit Inside the stock strut housing on the front, I'd say theres a really good chance that the Skunk2 coilovers will fit.
