Suspension Setup

I was thinking on buying tokico illuminas paired with H&R sport springs for my 93 civic 4dr. Is this a good setup?

Should be fine. Illuminas are decent shocks. The only other thing I would recommend are the Koni Sports [yellows], but the tokicos should be fine. Just dont get the blue Tokicos. H&R springs are good too.

Tokico blues are good shocks but there non-adjustable. A definite disadvantage. Both the Illuminas and Koni's yellows are adjustable.

I would like the koni yellow shocks but they are out of my price range. What should I do next after the springs and shocks? Should I get upgraded swaybars. And if so, what brand should I go with that are good and will not break my bank? I found the H&R Sport Springs for $127 shipping included. And the Tokico illuninas for $350 + shipping. Is this a good price?

Basically all name brand sway bars out there do the job. Some of the generic ones will work too, but not sure about the material it is made from. Just go what you like or afford. There won't be much of a difference.

How about the price of the springs and shocks? Is it good?
