dz coilovers? never heard of them... but i'm going with some koni reds (specials). I've got s-techs with 'em, heard all good about the konis

but i think yellows would work too... how soft/hard and what performance are you looking for?

I am looking for a firmer suspension but I want to be able to go over a pothole without my teeth clashing together.
DZs= Drop Zone

Dropzone coilovers are terrible, but your stock shocks are probably blown...which will contribute to bounciness. I would get a set of springs of your choice, and a good shock.

As for the topic at hand, I loved my KYB AGX. Good price, good quality, and adjustable damping. Koni yellows are awesome, but a little pricier. Don't bother with Tokico.

But i can vouch for what pandora says (hi jen), DZ coil overs are real nice they held up extremly well for the last year on my civic. Their actually in great shape. Im only changing them all out because im going to a non adjustable "race" spring.

Everyone I know has hated them. They rode like shit, and blew out quickly. They all changed to KYB or Koni, or got a true coilover. Tokico is lacking a bit in the quality department.
