long story short, if you have a civic, it has struts, and shocks will not work

shocks dampen road impacts, struts keep your car glued to the ground

I agree.

Someone should call tokico and ask them what the differences are between shocks and struts.

From what I understand, we technically have shocks, not struts. Anyways, this debate has been covered so search to find what others have said about it.

Not necessarily. They will be very bouncy if they are blown.
