Are these struts better than KOnis. Will it ride like stock at a lower height?

i belive that they are a modified stock damper.....so in turn, would provide improved ride quality with a lowering spring [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Thats pretty interesting. Please provide pics on a 2001 civic. Is it rebuidable? Why don't ppl make rebuildable shocks with different shock fluids? Like R/C cars.

<< Zinc plated thread built on strut body for use with adjusting nut used to raise and lower the car. >>



I already have H&R lowering springs now so that does mean I can lower the car more with your struts?A very tempting offer if it's height adjustable as what I have in mind.Pls provide more info,thx.

The case is shortened from 1 to 2 inches, it depends on what the customer needs for a specific use.

Yes, the oil can be changed to different types of oils, but they would need to be return for this type of work because

most people don't have the required equipment in their garage.

Yes, you can lower the car more with the struts when used in combo with lowering springs.

Cost on two fronts would be $400.00

So if I understand correctly, these are some struts?

If they are struts, do you guys have coilovers too? Or do you have like some kind of full coilover system going (maybe that's what this is......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] )...clue me in
