looking for new shocks for 03 civic ex coupe

hey guys, i've had my neuspeed sport springs installed on my oem shocks for about 10,000km now and i wanted to get them replaced with aftermarket ones since my cars almost at 150,000km, The drop is 1.75 F and 1.5 R and was just wondering which other shocks would be a good combo for these springs??

Koni yellows hands down.

Otherwise kyb agx are also quite decent shocks.

Though the drop isn't very big, so if your stock shocks are still good imo there is no need to replace them.

The neuspeed sport springs are not that stiff. I agree with Martin, if there's nothing wrong with your oem shocks, just leave them.

Don't worry about the drop. Eventhough you're not dropped that low, it's not the drop that kills stock shocks when cars are lowered. It's the stiffer spring rates, and the neuspeeds really aren't that stiff.

I've had stiffer eibach sportlines on my civic for the past 160,000km+ lowered 2-2.5" and the stock shocks are still fine.

If they're not leaking and the car is not bouncing, then leave them.
