Where is that shop? Close to Surrey or is it in North Van? How do you like your Neuspeed strut bar?
Thanks,
ROB

What did younpay for your Neuspeed bar retail? Just wanted to get an idea for the cost in CDN dollars. I had one on the line for $60, but lost out to someone else in the U.S.

Let me know

Jason from Toys for Wheels quoted me:

$159.00 for neuspeed front strut bar.
$325.00 for neuspeed sports springs installed.
$1460.00 for koni yellows and neuspeed sport springs installed

I purchased a neuspeed short shifter and front swaybar bushings kit from him already.

Hey GOTSPRINGROLLS,

How long have you had your sportlines and are your shocks and struts still good?

2k2CivicSi,

I think Jason wanted $1150 for the Koni Yellows (installed)
How long have you had your H&Rs for, and are your shocks/struts still good??

Just a warning to you 2002 4dr LX civics. The neuspeed front swaybar bushing kit is for a front 25.4mm sway bar. Our swaybar is 22.2mm. If you order the neuspeed bushing kit you will need a new swaybar. I found out the hard way. A 25.4mm sway bar will cost about $80.00. All coupe civics I believe are 25.4mm in the front.

This price is for the Neuspeed Koni's......the normal Konis are cheaper....but the difference is the Neuspeed ones have a 20mm shorter shaft, they are shortened internaly to prevent bottoming out, thus increasing the life of the shock....they are also slightly revalved to controll the Race spring
