Default coilover question

hey,

im planning on getting either GC or omnipower coilovers, do i need to buy shocks/struts also? ive seen a few setups where they just say "so-and-so coilovers" and no shocks/struts. im running a 2000 civic ex. thanks

Omni come's with instructions though they're not very detailed. I had no experience doing suspension on a Honda and got it done.

ive been looking around, and lets say i get the omnipower coilover sleeves, now b/c these are adjustable, do i really need to spend the extra money for the adjustable agx's, or could i get the same out of tokico hp shocks/ kyb gr2's?

The omni sleeves adjust the height of the ride, the adjustable struts adjust the stiffness of the strut. Two different types of adjustment.
