Need some advice

I need your opinons guys,

Would the tokico blues (hp) shocks combined with the tein s-tech springs be a stiff ride ? would i be feeling every bump i go over ? , is it too low for the winter weather we are having ?

i have a 2dr 00-Civic Si

i'm worried maybe the stiffness of the springs are too much for the shocks, and the shocks won't last as long.

thanks for you help

Tein S-tech's are one of the softer springs that you can get, and Blues are an OEM replacement shock so they won't be valved aggressively.

The ride will feel only slightly harsher then stock. I have the Tein S-techs on Illumina's, and I ride on 5 front and back. Not harsh whatsoever, so you will be fine.

As for the drop, you will need to take it slow on speed bumps and steep driveways, but I have never had any problems in the winter.

My advice is browse the this forum and search for spring/shock combo and you will find your answer.

Thanks
