Texan advises not to use Tokico, but he didn't tell us what car he had them on. Each car is different and it my not be applicable to Silver2KYCivic's car.

I have a 1995 Integra lowered until there was no wheel to fender gap. My ground controls (limited edition) with my tokicos work just fine to get a stock ride feel; I drove a stock integra and my car on the same day to compare the difference. The springs that came with my g/c's are not stiff at all. If you want stiff, the Skunk's are stiff as hell. I've only had experience with ground controls and skunk's adj. c/o sleeves with the 94-2001 Integras, so I can't say the tokico & g/c setup is for every application. As for Silver2KYcivic's setup, correct me if I'm wrong, the 92-2000 Civics' suspension are virtually the same as the 90-2001 Integras, so my advice is go with the G/C & Tokico for a cheap adjustable setup that will give you a stock quality ride. Of course running big wheels with low profile tires will lessen the soft ride, but it is not the g/c's to be blamed.

If you're really low on money, listen to other peoples advice on getting a non height adjustable setup. I got my g/c just so I can offset the added weight in the rear of my car (lots of stereo stuff). All of that weight made my car 3/4" lower. It looked stupid with the rear lower than the front.
