i would say tokico but i dunno if the sleeve is large enough to fit over the top cap on the tokico front struts...my d-specs have a large cap and i've seen the blues which also have a larger cap...so i dunno look into the specs first

i got the KYB AGX's on Skunk2's and they work fine, some say they wont work, BUT take off your skunk2 and goto a performance shop that has them in stock and see what best fits your sleeves, that is what i did at nopi. the Tokico Blues worked on the rear but not my front, and i wanted adjustability, but not having to take apart my strut housing to insert some yellows, if im going to spend a ton of money on damping, i'd go with Megan Racing or TEIN, preferably TEIN. i want the FLEX sooo bad!...but holla back if ya need me....

tokico blues went on with no probelms and they work. Their are no major modifications besides making the holes bigger cause i have an 04 but you shouldn;t have a problem with the blues. Its an easy install i did mine myself.

thats odd, i guess it was a rumor all over this forum that the skunk2 sleeved coilovers wouldnt work with the Tokico blues nor the KYB agx. i talked with another 7thgen civic sedan owner that had skunk2 sleeved coilovers and he couldnt fit the KYB AGX's.

i was gonna say the skunk2 works with the koni yellows and the tokico d-specs.

trust me the blues work with the skunk 2 coilovers. On the 04 civic the only modification needed is to make the mounting hole to an 11/16 so the bolt can fit through it. thats is i did this myself and had no problems and they work and have no noises or nothing wrong with them

tokico blues are fine from what i hear but the tokico d-specs if you want to fine tune your ride. worth the money IMO.
