My parents went through a good pair of winter tires due to not realizing they needed rear shocks....anyway...

The cars a 01 Civic HX, I plan on going with KYB GR-2s although i cant find a good place to get them. Anyone know of a good place for just the rears? or should i go with a different company?

I dont need performance here, I want to install this for the parents ASAP and not have to do it after 30K like the OEM crap! Will KYB be fine?

Also, where is a good place to get endlinks?

I know you probably just need the rears, but I suggest getting a whole set. GR-2's are good, but I would choose tokico blues over kyb. You can get blues from the vendors on this site or ebay. Either shock will suffice. Contact Eddie at Truehonda (www.truehonda.com) or the guys at No Limit (www.nolimitsmotorsport.com - I dealt with Adam but they all seem cool)

As for the endlinks do you want aftermarket or stock?

Yeah i was going to go with a full set of blues but the parents wanted to just spend as little as possible so i ended up getting the KYBs for the rear. Now i just need to get some time off to throw these on so the tires dont get destroyed.

As for the endlinks, I specialize in Volvos and Audi/VW so i dont really know the prices on the Honda aftermarket endlinks compared to the OEMs. I would like to go with a good self-lubricating sealed race endlink instead of the cheap OEM ball joint style but what is the price difference?

just buy a $14 honda one. There's really no major issue with em if you're using a stock swaybar.
