Exclamation what shocks should i go with?

hey guys. i have my civic dropped on sportlines and stock shocks and the tires seem to wear really quickly. so now im thinking about getting some to pair the sportlines with. any ideas? is anyone here selling the whole set for 01 civic? help.
also, what would happen if i only got the rear aftermarket shocks and leave the front stock? what difference would that make?

if your tires are wearing out than you got negative camber, or in other works, time for a camber kit. look up spc performance. i have tokico shocks with tein springs, the best combination in my eyes. i think ebay price on tokico shocks blues. for $330. start saving and good luck. hope i helped ya

i got spc camber kit all around but i think i'll need shocks to pair up with my sportlines so there'd be no so much pressure put on the springs themselves + improve the ride comfort.

xkimsungminx is an unknown quantity at this point
you might as well upgrade all 4. cuz of course your rears are probably going to need the shock upgrade the most but. the fronts are gona be pretty dang bumpy and crappy without shock upgrades up front too. and what RagingSpam said. Tokico D-Specs if you're willing to invest a bit more to get nicer shocks that're adjustable. and you can try looking up KYB AGX Gas shocks. this dude at a shop with a turbo'd integ GSR recommended those to me.

they will sit the same way basically unless your springs were faulty. Shocks dampen the springs load/unload on the car, they dont adjust ride height unless they are taller non spec shocks.
