Shocks/struts!!!

Okay I have had my Skunk2 springs on for about a year now and have been waiting for some shocks to come out that will compliment them better than the stocks that came on my 07 Si coupe. After a quick search I can't seem to find any. Anyone know of any that are out for us yet?

The Tokico shocks are OEM replacements. They'll wear out just as fast as his stock ones.

And most everyone is still waiting on those Koni OTS yellows.

Didn't know that the HP came out already! It's on ProCivic.com, if the OP is interested. Haven't heard much about them, so my post has become completely moot. LOL.

So the koni's are made for the lowered stance that the Skunk2 springs give? Which ones?

Yeah.. Konis give u either a nice soft ride or a stiff ride depending on the adjustment you have them on. If It was me doing the set up. I would wait for the Koni susp. Their warranty is great too

The Tockico Blue(non adjustable). The Hp is White and is adjustable.

Blue is more Stock replacement for lowered cars and the Hp's are a little more agressive.

i believe Tokico will be releasing the HTS which is like the D-Spec which adjusts rebound and compression.

dont know when that will be though, still shows in development on their site.
