I'd say yes! I have them in my civic and they are great. Easy to adjust, fit perfect. Great range of adjustabilty. I am very happy with my purchase.

What springs are you using & how much of a drop? If you dont have springs yet, check out H&R's Cup Kit. |

I like them if your going with springs of sleve coils there nice me i went with koni yellows love them to death but they are bit more pricy. If your going full Coilovers then Tein HR JIC all make great kits.

Monroe Gas-Matic. Number One brand.
But seriously, why do you need to adjust them? If you don't, HP's are okay. Adjusting is for racers who need to dial in the fronts and rears, unless you want a harsh ride to be cool. |

I'd recommend Koni Yellows or KYB AGX if you're going for a shock with adjustable dampening. Then match them to either a set of Neuspeed Sports, Eibach Pro Kit or Sportlines, or Tein S. Tech springs. If you go coilover sleeves, I would not recommend anything other than Ground Control. I hear too many complaints about Skunk2's being too bouncy or harsh, and anything else is just CRAP plain and simple.

I think he meant H&R, not Tein HR.

Re: Tokiko? why or why not
I've heard nothing good about coilover sleeves, GC are decent - i've heard. If you go coilover spend the $$$$$ and get the good stuff.

Re: Re: Re: Tokiko? why or why not
I didn't knock GC's It's just I've seen/heard of many spring perches breaking with sleeves - even GC's. Yea spring perches can be broken with normal springs, but its more likely with sleeves cranked down.
