tokico d-specs on stock springs

I have an 01 civic ex with 103,000 miles on it, and I am pretty sure my stock struts are blown. I live and minnesota and dont want to lower my car because I drive a lot in snow and take snowboard trips up in the mountains. Would D-specs work well with stock springs? Would my car handle any better? I like the fact that the d-specs are adjustable, but if d-specs suck with stock springs maybe i should just get the tokico blues.

Of course your car would handle better with aftermarket shocks. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't work with stock springs...

Thats what I thought, I am thinking about doing that or just getting tokico blues and pairing them with tein h-techs since the they dont lower very much.

IMO if you're just daily driving, get some Tokico blues and some springs with a 1 inch drop, That should be fine in the snow as long as you don't put a lip/body kit on your car

I ordered the tokico combo kit off ebay with the blues and tokico 1 inch drop springs 2 weeks ago. but I just got an email saying that they are on backorder for quite some time, and he refunded me my money. It was from the ebay seller race options. he said that if I pick something else out he will give me a good discount for waiting. now I just have to figure out whats the next best combo.
