Shock/Spring compatability

[96civicex]

Starting to get sick of the terrible ride, there's a great groupbuy for kyb gr-2's at like $66 each... BUT i have the http://www.clubhonda.com/images/ubbicons/puke.gif cut integra springs (which ride ok) on 2000 si suspension that came with the car. do I need shocks for a 2000? How will these affect the ride (i'm confident they will improve handling)
pre-thanks for the input

good god cut springs. get a set of h&r or something with the shocks. cut springs tend to bounce all over.

ok, get some tokico illuminas (adjustability) for the 2000 si, and then get either h&r springs or sprints or something. But JUNK those cut springs with a quickness!

You can sleep in your car, but you can't race in your house.

hey guys.... how do you think the gearheads lowered a car back before they made springs for a civic, or an integra? it called modifing, not just part replacement like we are all used to. and anyway the tegs springs have a faster spring rate, so it should compensate for the missing material. cut springs are alright if you know what your doing. stiffer shocks are a must and you will get a little bottom out on real big bumps.

The best set up is the tokico illuminas with ground control coilovers.I have heard that is the best set up.I am going to get them.

I have Tokico Illuminas on my ride. they are good, I have no complaints. I am looking into a spring by H&R, Nuespeed or maybe Skunk2.
Also, never will i put the "coilovers" that are only sleeves w/ springs,instead of the threaded shock body.

ATTENTION Lude Chick : What do you think of the TOkico springs you are using? I have the same on the civ, and find them a little soft.
