Hey your a Marine too?

Theres some tokico's out right now. Gonna cost you about 400-500 bucks for all four though. And for $900 you could get the Tein basic coilovers! I heard peeps saying the basic's were crap though.

Im running the same setup as you, Tein Springs and skunk2 camber kit. Im just gonna wait il my stock shocks have had enough and then decide!

Yes I'm a Marine too, stationed at MCAS Miramar.... Yeah i don't know which one to get, but i heard tokico is pretty good for the setup that we have on our civic....

TOKICO offers a perfect shock for a lowering spring. The TOKICO HPs are valved more aggressively than the OE shocks and are able to accomodate most lowering springs, including the Eibach Pro Kit, TEIN High Tech/S-Techs, etc.

Here is some pricing and info.

I'd wait for the Koni Yellows. Pretty much all of us are.

Which one is that???? and when is it coming out???

mattsbobo · 12-31-2007, 01:08 AM

Spring or Summer of 08. Just use the search button up top, type in Koni , and I'm sure a few Koni threads will appear before your eyes.

KONI Yellows are a great shock, but so are TOKICO's. They are valved more aggressively than OE (20-50%) and can handle most lowering springs. Some people just need a shock to accomodate their lowering spring and not the premier shock on the market (I would say on a scale of 10 TOKICO's are a 7/8 and KONI's are a 9). TOKICO's also come with a limited lifetime warranty. And I am not certain, but I would estimate that the KONI Yellows will likely sell for $700-$800 for the set.

TOKICO HP's are OEM replacements. Same valving, rebound rates, etc. Only difference is they look nicer. Koni and TOKICO should finally be out some externally adjustable shocks some time late spring.

Tein basics are crap, they are not even adjustable. Non adjustable coilover... like a non-steering car.
