ojay is on a distinguished road
as a daily driver, that s.tech/blue combo or tein basic is fine.

more searching, less posting

if it was me, and trust me, I went down the wrong road the first time with a cheaper product, Hayame V2's, which burnt a $700 hole in my pocket, go with Tein SS, only cause with the SS, you can adjust the dampening which makes a huge difference in ride quality. I kick myself everyday for not just spending the xtra dough cause in the end I payed out a lot more.

Well tein basics allow you to control the height, which IMO, you would want to do considering you have a sedan. Your rear end will sag otherwise because most struts are made for coupes, correct me if I am wrong.
You really do not need the dampening control, so I would go with the basics.

CLeeNx04CiVic has a little shameless behaviour in the past
if u want a smooth ride...just stay STOCK!

but if you want a nice stance and better handling just save up for the TEIN BASIC
