2011 Civic LX aftermarket softer springs
Hey guys, I'm new here. Just curious about y'alls choices for aftermarket shocks for a softer ride. I'm not a racer, nor do I want to be. I just want a softer ride than stock is all. Any recommendations?

i was wondering the same thing. i have an 06 and the shocks were getting pretty bad about a year ago so i replace them with this kit i ordered off rockauto https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=10922&jsn=981
i shoulda never cheaped out.. waste of money. these things felt good for about.. 1-2months then they were actually WORSE than the old (stock from 2006) shocks that i had before.. and of course, i threw out original front springs since these came with new ones.. so ya. Are there any good shocks that come with the entire assembly that are actually a decent ride and won't leak all the hydraulic fluid after a month or two? absolutely blown away at how bad these monroes were considering i heard so much good about them lol. I'm assuming the real OEM ones from honda are insanely priced or not even available anymore?
any help would be appreciated thanks

KYB is OEM I'm told. In the complete strut section I only see the front right available from KYB. I see both sides available in the bare strut section.
