Civic Suspension?

I have tein lowering springs with tokiko blue struts and my struts are blown and i want to get new suspension just wondering if i should get kyb struts and just use my tein springs or should i buy coilover suspension by drop zone?
here are couple links to the suspension. let me know which setup is better and i am not tracking the car or anything, just daily driver.

if the springs are fine don't bother changing them. replace the struts with whatever fits your budget. GR2's are pretty close to a factory replacement. i'd atleast upgrade to the AGX

just do the full coilover swap it will pay off in the long run when you sell.

are you just talking about the spring and adjustable collars? If you are i am not a fan of generic spring rate coils as they are all terrible.

depends on your budget. if you only gonna sell the car later and you don't wanna spend alot of money fixing it, just get the economy ones from partsource.
