so on the tein website it says that 02's and 03's need the 01 civic top bearing, just curious if anyone else has this suspension set up? do you really need the 01 civic top bearings?

yes, there was a suspension change after 01. you will need 01 upper mounts

I drive 2003. I have tein ss, installed it about one month ago, they only siffer from basics in terms of shock firmness adjustability.
My tein set included everything to mount either for 01-02 civics or 03-05 civics.
I'm suggesting that you email or call Tein USA and find out if it is the same for basics.

I have the basics on my car, you need to go to Honda and get the 01 top mounts.

its a lil stiff compared to stock, but thats also cause i have a neuspeed strut bar. but the ride is nice. lol i've grounded out a few times, but thats just cause roads in edmonton alberta are horrible!

actully i have them on the highest setting cause it gives me about a 1 inch drop and gives me a cleaner look. still have a bout 2 fingers worth of gap in the front, and 2.5 in the rear, just the way i like it

wuts the max u can drop ur car on those? cause im either gonna buy those or SS soon

enough to have no wheel gap and do some rubbing, all depends on your rims though. i like my clean look so i only have 16 inch rims with 205/45/r16 tires

I just got new free mounts. But thats cause they were under warranty and struts needed to be replaced.
