I don't have stock wheels, but i'm interested in trading coilovers from a 2002 ex coupe. You wanted to just do a straight up trade?

Probably a Bilstein shock with Neuspeed spring setup... Otherwise, it's just springs
Edit: I can't see him trading the shocks for stock setup as that would be close to 1000 dollars... According to the website anyway.

i dont want my current shocks, coil overs or rims. i want a basic honda civic coupe with a totally stock ride. As someone stated earlier the spring does say neuspeed i dont know who makes the coil overs. i bought the civic this way. And yes, i want to swap my aftermarket set up for your stock setup and possibly even swap out my rims for stock ones or custom rims. i am not a fan of the rims i have currently... what is misleading about this, the springs say neuspeed and there are coil overs attached that allow me to manually adjust the height of the car.

Get a picture of the suspension setup and post it on here. Get down and dirty with that camera. If it is stock shocks with neuspeed springs, the stock shocks are garbage. That's what we are trying to get at here. If your including aftermarket shocks then it's a worthwhile trade for someone. It's the springs that are adjustable, not the coilovers or shocks.

Coilovers have two parts. the damper and the spring. it sounds like you have an aftermarket coilover and not just springs, if they are indeed adjustable. I am still interested in trading so let me know.

^no.
coilovers means that the spring height can be ADJUSTABLE on the strut. they come together because the spring is made for the strut...etc
the only aftermarket springs + aftermarket struts are not coilovers.
the only exeption form this is if u have sleeves like ground control, then its like a hybrid of both.

a coilover is a spring and a strut that comes as one piece.
I don't see how what is said before was wrong...
also, there are coilovers that are not adjustable.

All he said is that the springs are adjustable on the strut because they are designed to work together AKA coilvers. But, there are "Hybrid" springs, that have inserts in them that can be adjusted on any strut.

okay here are the pic's. im pretty sure that the springs are separate from the shock. when i adjust the height i slide up the spring and turn the bolt so its two peices....

so thats what you call them, "sleeved coil overs" its a pretty cool thing to have if you want the aggressive dropped look, im just not trying to mod my car, so if anyone wants a set of "sleeved coilovers pm me.

Yep. The big problem with this setup is the stock struts don't fair well. They are probably shot. I'm sure that someone will trade for them though... Good luck.
