Default shocks

I want a few of your guys opinion on your fav brands of shocks. I basically need stiff shocks for cornering on a 2000 honda civic ex. What do you guys think I should get?

Thanks guys, I will check them all out. Next Question, do I replace the springs and strut bars as well? And I am a little confused by the whole shock strut difference. Do cars have both shocks and struts or just one or the other.

I like the tokico 5 way adjustable illuminas and ground controls. Dont forget the 1000lb rear drag springs.

hahaha... nice i like the koni's man... tokico is great too... but for less $$$, kyb is fine. when you decide, juss keep in mine that there are a whole lot of options depending on what you wanna do w/ 'em and of course... your budget

I ran AGX's before my koni's, becuase I thought they would be fine.... but the koni's are some much better... better ride on soft, better hadeling as I adjusted them stiffer, just way better overall.
