you should wait on the rims, and lower it first, depending on what setup u get, to see how much clearance u've got to work with.

but yeah, dont stay on the stock shocks for long, get some tokicos

any idea on which exact type of shocks and struts which is really good and not too big of a price....how about coilovers? completly diff thing huh?

not really familiar with coilovers, but for the time of driving i do, i like my tokico hp blues. if u want something a little more performance oriented (and pricey) get the tokico d-specs, they're also adjustable. i do know that coilovers are gonna run u more than just shocks/springs by themselves for the most part

Blues (HPs) are awesome they're a great street shock.. I think eBay has them cheapest, but if eBay scares you (like it scares me) .. get them here

I'd e-mail them about pricing.. they'll hook you up, ask for Eddie.

Im not sure about that website bc it says its 79.95 and i think its only for the rear(01-05 civic)...I checked ebay theyre about 350-400 dollars how come the 01-03 model hp's are over 200 dollars cheaper thats wierd...

03-05 front shocks are different than 01-02 ... the rears are the same

and that makes it 200 dollars cheaper? I dunno but I think i'll just order them from ebay for about 375 with shipping...still not sure what kind of springs to get though might get the neuspeed but not sure..im looking for a bigger drop in the front then the rear since my system is heavy as hell...mayb about 1.5 in the front and 1.25 in the back?

that'd work.. but don't go any lower than 1.5" .. blues have been shown to go that low but not more than 1.5 gl w/ eBay too

OR should I just purchase a CoilOver Kit...How about Skunk2 or Tein Basic Coilovers?...or will I see better performance on Nuespeed Sports and Tokico Blues?

well a spring/shock combo is way cheaper if you're not planning on doing auto-x .. coilovers are nice but if you plan on keeping the ride height/stiffness the same you might as well get the spring/shock combo.. also every time you adjust the coilovers you need an allignment
