yes they are very good


AND DOES IT PROVIDE A ROUGH OR SMOOTH RIDE??
it can provide both a rough ride when set to its stiffest, or a smooth ride when set more comfortable.

AND ALSO DOES IT MAKE ANY NOISES WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL??
mine makes absolutely no noises,
I am using the 2001 civic bearing rings & upper mounts. so i don't know if the 2002+ mounts & rings make noise.


also try searching...

i have 2001 mounts and rings on the left side and 2002 mounts and rings on the right. i dont know how that happened but I havent had any issues yet. or any type of noise when turning the wheel.


I still plan on replaceing them with the 01' mounts and rings tho
i just dont know when.

Well they are way worth the money. I paid under 1100 shipped from titanmotorsports.com. You will jsut have to email them from the web-site. I will admit I have a 2k2 and used the oem mounts and my left front one makes some noise. But I know what the problem is and will fix it when I get back from the hot as hell desert.

there is no bouncy it can be bumpy but that all depends on how u set the damper. it is easy to set the damper it is a *** on the top of each shock it take seconds. i have a ford 150 also and now my car rides better then the truck i love the way that it rides they are worth every cent

I paid $950, plus $80 shipping. The local shop I am getting them from quoted me wrong and was willing to still give it to me for that price since it was his mistake. All he asked in return was for me to have them install it (which I was going to do anyways). So, I came out pretty lucky! Cant wait till they come, should be Friday or Saturday!!!
