Sup B!

For Konis, G5 had the best deal round town. Calvin did his there. Nobody else could beat their prices. Calvin got his Konis before Import Dynamix started so he didn't get our discounts and it was still cheaper. So that might be the best place to start.

Hope that helps!

I bought mine for 800$ in Edmonton....thru a buddie of mine....Personally I think buying TEIN would be way easier.....and hell you can pretty much do the install your self....for TEIN or KONI...the yellows will be a bit harder..thats all

Koni yellows were retailing for $1300+gst when I bought them. I personally got them for $960+gst. Not bad but not great.

ya going through a buddy of mine, i can get them for roughly 800 taxes in
but im looking for a place that installs and does alignment after for less than 175

or if anybody knows a place that is less than 975 for the shocks and install that would be even better...lol

Damian - 1.4" will be okay but your ride will become a tad bouncy!

tax included, go look at my review i put about the koni shocks before you buy them.
I didn get an alignment because of the koni design.

Well i know 2 of 2 do. G5 called another person from another garage who had the koni yellows on a 7th gen civic and he had the same problem too.

i just called garage 5 and the teins are roughly 1900
ouch...
on a side note, the guy i was talking with told me that Jic (i think its jic) and eibach are both coming out with full suspension kits for our cars...dunno when though.

hmmm and the koni's are 950 plus 150 for install so u must've gotten some kinda deal to get it for 900 installed calvin...

I bought my coilovers from them too so they did my whole suspension at one time

see my total suspension costed me roughly $1600 installed. So another $300 for teins wouldn have been a big deal for me. If i had known that the konis sucked so much for our cars i would have just bought teins

Oooh yea n i cant forget to include, that i bought my exhaust too... so i did a big purchase all at once. Obviously they would cut me a lil slack.

JIC Magic is planning on putting out a full assembly kit for our cars.
H&R is in the middle of trying to piece together a cup kit. Although the cup kit has been rumored to come out for a long time. G5 says it might be hard because of the way our CV joint is made. Just too weak. That's why the Konis have to use part of the original strut.

JIC Magic makes GREAT coilovers. If you can spare the money I would suggest going for those.

Teins have been rumored to rust quite easily. Anyways, I hope some of the info here helps! I've been doing serious research about these. I'm still waiting to see if Tokiko will make a good design for struts in our cars. I'm riding on H&R sports with a 1.3" drop. Ride is not too bouncy right now.

how is h&r cup kit??
I used to live around vancouver area but right now i am in toronto area for school.
I have h&r sport spring. It was pretty good to drive the street in vancouver area with blown shocks but here in toronto, my car is flying... bouncing bouncing bouncin...
so i plan to purchase koni yellow or some other coilovers...
However, since koni makes so much noise... I don't think i should buy them (my parent will kill me with all those noise)... so i went to the shop in toronto area and they recommended h&r cup kit quoated at 1300 installed.. i am sure about tax thing...
so what should i do????? anybody have suggestion??
i can spend my money upto about $1300-1500 since i told my parents that shocks are needed and koni will cost about $1000....
I like JIC or tein but... too expensive.... also, i heard that tein will rust very easily....
toronto has white street during winter with salt..
so.. does anyone have any idea about h&r cup kit????
how much they cost other shops???? and most important the warrenty part...
i drive a lot and drive many not well conditioned street... so.. my suspension has to be able to stand that....

can anyone best recommend me the solution on suspension part??
should i wait for the tokico or kyb?? shocks?
