    the only ones i know that would work would be the civic front shocks....idk what year but they are a bit longer than our stock shock so some coil over or lowering springs would help

    i think KYBs meet or exced OEM specs and the tokicos are 10-15% stiffer for lowering springs and high performance.

    I have the KYB GR2 and they are a good strut.

    I replaced my Ghetto Lowered OEM struts with them and the car handles alot better.

    But I don't have a educated opinion on stock (WORKING strut) Stiffness vs the KYB.

    no, since they don't necessarily fit properly, most of us won't spend our money on them.
