Koni, Tokico.. please give advice
I like my car as is. I have H&R 2 inch front, 1.75 inch back on the TL. Now i have to purchase shocks and a camber kit for it.
I don't want to spend much and just want the cheapest shocks that'll keep my car up. I saw on Tim's store he had Tokico shocks that were only $257 (they were non-adjustable). Do you guys think these shocks will do it for me? Or do those shocks just suck?
Also, do you guys know where i can get a camber kit for the TL?
One last question: When i get parts for my TL, which Accord model to i get parts from (DX, EX, LX? ; Coupe, sedan? ; V4, V6?)?
Thanks for your help!

don't be stingy or you'll regret it. Tokiko shocks have been known to leak amongst integra and civic drivers. They are of the crappiest quality material. Konis are the best choice. They are backed with a lifetime warranty -- something that Tokiko will never be able to have.

Tokico's has life time warranty as well. Please do not spread this kind of wrong information. I am using Tokico's right now, they are stiff. I don't have shit problem like oil leaking. My friend also using Tokico's. My friend who drives an Integra used both shocks. The conclusion is that the Koni's is not as stiff, and the ride quality is poor. If you replace your stock shock with Koni's without lowering, they are great. If you want to lower your car, use tokico's. However, the intruction on Tokico's says you can only lower 1.5". Anything lower than 1.5" might void the LIFE TIME WARRANTY. (yeah, they have that too)

In my old Teg, I used to have Tokico shocks all around. I had those shocks for 7 years with no problems.
