If you want to spend money get tien ss springs and a set of 18 adr rims. I like those. Hell if you really want get the full tien suspension kit.

You dont have to get shocks your stock ones should hold out but if you want a nice ride go with the shocks. I have tenzo springs with the stock shocks and man is it rough as hell. Im going to upgrade to tien ss with konis or Tokico shocks. Not sure about the strut thingy. is it made by tien? Send a link of where you found it.

Damn, 800$ for some suspension on a ciVic?
I do want my car lowered but do i really need to spend 600$ for shocks?
I don't want bumpy ride.
This just sounds 2 much for a civic.
i used to have honda s2000 and my friend had a comptec adjustable suspension that he paid 650$ for.
hmm. anybody selling any used set?

raja

Tein SS - $1400 is way 2 much to spend on just a base coupe.
