Those skunk2s are going to be pretty stiff for you, they are notorious for it. In fact, I would not personally pair them to KYB AGXs because I don't think the AGXs do nearly as well of a job dampening them as Illuminas or Koni Yellows would.

You really need to get your suspension to the height you want and then see where you stand for allignment, because if it's not too extreme of a drop and you end up NOT needing the front kit, you will probably save a little hassle by not putting it in.

This is the order that I usually recommend doing it in... a good alignment shop should be willing to work with you on this:

Springs / Shocks
Alignment
Camber correction
Alignment

Going back to your earlier questions, don't ever worry about the difference between shocks and struts. Hondas don't use "struts in the front and shocks in the back" for any of the cars we drive. They are struts, all around, simply because they are encased in the spring. Anymore the terms are used interchangably because so many people don't know or care that there's a difference anyways. If you really want to dodge the issue alltogether, just say Dampers and be done with it. Bottom line, you can't order the wrong thing for your car, so it doesn't really matter what you call it.

You probably need to do a little more research before you just jump into this ordering whatever looks good. You can still end up with a ride you don't like. If you're going for something that feels nice, the way your heading isn't going to get you there.
