Koni yellow's + GC
So i'm planning to order the Ground Control Coilovers and the koni yellow's from truehonda.com, and I was wondering for the 2003 honda civic ex coupe's, are they really or 55mm? sorry if this was a dumb question, but i tried searching and i came up with answers sayin its 50 and some sayin its 55.

civex03, i believe the price at truehonda is per strut, meaning you'll need to put 4 in your "cart" to get a whole complete set.
as for ground controls, theirs 2 models of ground control coilovers for the 2001+ civic. one thats meant to be paired up with koni yellows (or other aftermarket strtus) and one set thats meant to go with the stock shocks. so i think its a good time to think if you want to buy struts or not when placing an order on GC's.
when i talked to edward at truehonda, he believed (not 100% entirely true) that the 01 civics used the 50mm while the 02's had a mixture between the both and the 03-05 were more likely to be 55mm. i would call [truehonda] and talk to them about that one to verify. i'd only say 55mm because im an 03 civic ex owner and thats what size i needed. if it helps, i bought my car on september 03'

nooooooooooooooooooooo don't do it. I had nothing but trouble with the koni rear perches goin out all the time on me. If you're planning on carrying passangers look for some different struts mane. D-Specs are good

I've had konis on the car for lil over two years now, and I havent had a single problem with any thing. this is with it being my daily driver, my autocross car AND my open track car. so its seen alot of abuse.

yeah your shocks will decrease in duration because your car is lowered, and the stock struts aren't meant to perform like that i guess. i can't explain it, but yeah, the lower you go the less life your shocks has.
Thank you for giving me a good deal, I recommend TRUE HONDA to everyone, because they are good people, and ships fast, and excellent payment. this is just a little bump, for Edward. haha, but yeah, lets just hope i get them in on monday. =)
