Running GC/Koni Yellows custom spring rate 350F/450R with a 22mm sway bar. I autocross and daily drive my car. It is a very comfortable ride and the only suspension noise I get is the squeaking from my toasted rear trailing arm bushings.
What I like about GC/Koni Yellows:
+Full rebound and ride height adjustability
+Custom rates
+Easy assembly
+Solid construction
+Performance to price ratio is very high
+They look cool
+Easy installation
What I don't like about the GC/Koni Yellows:
-Spring not preloaded until car is on the ground
-OTS Koni Yellows can't handle spring rates higher than 500 lb/in. SPSS revalved Koni Yellows are required.
-If you want to slam the car, you need the GC tophats

So OG it hurts.

i had' 'em on my ride a while back. i loved 'em very stiff on my setup. the yellows are the best shocks for the civic. you can't go wrong.
i'd recommend the following spring rates:
450 front 550 rear by gc
and yellows should be near the edge of the dampening, but you could probalby have gc setup them and revalved for your setup when you order everything through them.

I drive '95 GSR with Koni yellows and 450F/350R GCs with a 22mm sway bar/tie bar combo. This is my weekend car and I drive it spiritedly everywhere I go.
I've only had this setup for about 2000 miles, so far, I love it, comfort and performance at a low price. No noises or squeaking here.
