Default suspension opinions, yes again.

So now I picked up some Eibach sportline springs for cheap ($50 shipped. )anyway I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on shocks to pair with them, it's a ef civic hatch, ls swap, daily commuter but spirited driving, need some comfort, and money is not an object but I want the best bang for the buck as my other civc will soon need new slicks for the track. thanks guys

I was wondering about the koni yellows I run those with GC srpings on my autoX car but they're far from comfortable on the road, i'm still researching but looks like i'll probably go with the AGX seem to be the best bang for the buck. thanks for the responses.

i like the agx's with the fronts set at 4 and the rears at 1 or 2.... thats how i had them set up for the street on my old DA and my current DC. when i put the rears on 4 its really rough on my old back lol
