It's a toss up between Tokico and KYB. Obviously there are better option$, but the ones I've mentioned are the best bang for the buck.

No prob, I've had a set of KYB AGX for my Integra and the front strut would squeek sometimes, but I think it's because I was lowered by 2". Just a heads up...

H&R race springs with KYB AGX shocks. I think the shocks are set at 5 and they're still stiff. I can feel every bump on the road. Have them on the car since 2004, and no signs of leakage yet

I don't commute to work, so I've only put around 70k miles on the car since the KYBs were installed. Looks like KYB have shocks for GD but they're the Excel-G model shocks. If the Skunk2 springs aren't dropped that low you might be able to get by with the Excel-Gs

i was lookin to that shocks also...but they said its oem replacement not sure if they can handle those stiffer springs...i believe skunk2s are 2 in front and 1.8 rear which in my opinion needs some struts/shocks that can handle it...but im gonna look up on it see if i can go with this shocks since other brand is really pretty expensive..i dont know why koni didnt make any struts for gd's only rears...
