Exclamation what shocks work best with skunk2 lowering springs

I have a 2001 Civic Ex and I recently purchased Skunk2 lowering springs (product Code: 519-05-1570). The springs are good but they lowered the car more than I expected and now everytime I make a sharp turn or hit a big bump the tires rub against black plastic inside the fender. What can I do to prevent that from happening Buy new shocks or ??????? And what are also some good performance shocks KYB ?????

you can roll your fenders. Rent the tool and watch youtube videos.
Also you can get a camber kit in the rear and give yourself some negative camber.

Tokico d specs are pretty good

Yeah tokico d specs are amazing, but the skunk2 springs are like a 2.5" final drop (after they settle), i used to have them, and sure they look good but to make it not rub i had to run 185/60s on them lol which was not ok.
