Default Tokico N/a or AGX with Pro kit?

I have a set of pro kits for a 96-98 civic and am tight right now on money. I was originally just going to run the stock shocks till they wore out but figured it would just be easier to do it all at once and be done with it.

SO my question is, does anyone have any experience with Tokico n/a (blues?) shocks run with Pro kits?

I was originally going with the AGX's becouse of adjustabliity but I know my lazy ass is never going to adjust them for any reason. Just daily driving is all i need them for. The Tokicos are cheaper but not by much, will I be ok running them? How well would they ride with Pro kits? Help me out please.

Tokico Blues just blow in my opinion. They'er only good for 1.5 in drop or so. Same with AGX's from what I've heard. I've blown 2 sets of blues, and will never buy them again...

I have had Pro-kits and Tokico Blues for about 3 years. They are on a 98 Ex 4 door with ST sway Bars. I think the setup is great for the street. Stiffer than stock...but still real usable. I also autocross occasionally and this set up works great. It could be much stiffer and better for ultimate cornering, but day to day it is a great compromise.

DOOOOoooD, tell me more. What was it smooth or slightly bounce? Did it transition well in the corners?

Anyone know where I could get a deal on the Tokicos?

I'm going for a mild/conservative setup... tell me what you peeps think.

Pro kit
*insert shock name here*
Neuspeed F strut and R. lower bar
Si rear sway bar.

Any adivise. I don't have to bother with a camber kit right?

You gotta let me know how you like whatever set up you go with. I have everything you have except the pro kit and shocks, but I'm plainning on getting a pro kit, and haven't decided on what type of shocks yet. Let me know what you go with and how you like it.

I wouldnt go with any of them...

For the price you are paying and I would get

--> KONI REDS <--....those are almost the same cost as KYB AGX but

you get that Koni Quality and they are adjustable..but by adjustable I mean you have take them off the car...

But Koni Reds would be the best for the money in my opinion

You can find them at:
