2001 -up civic/2002 RSX shortened struts
<< i'm very interested with these struts, but i have never heard of this company before..
i don't know about the reliability on these struts ..
so what can you offer us .. ? >>
5 year or 60,000 mile warranty for material and workmanship.
Hello,
I have two points I wish to be clarified. Everything sounds good so far.
Am I correct in that you make two types, one adjustable and one not?
Second, the ride height is lowered by an additional ~1-1.5 inches?
What if I have Eibach Sportlines and already enjoy the ride height (~1.4 inch drop)? Do I have to purchase another spring or use the stock ones?

VERY important question.
The threaded sleeve on the struts. is it steel, stainless steel, ALuminum?. Also the adjusting nut. is that steel as well?.
FOr thos ethat live in this world where rain occurs. Rust is a big issue

i have neuspeed sports(about 1.7" front and 1.5" back). the springs were actually slightly longer then stock(prevents the springs from dislodging from the perches when your car is raised) and so i needed a spring compresser to get them on. since your struts are shorter, what kind of effect is this going to have on my car? it would be harder to put the springs on because you would have to compress them even more right? and with my neuspeed sports, you will notice that on the front, about 2-3 coils on the bottom are touching together(yes this is normal, i asked neuspeed). but since these struts are shorter wont it cause 3-4 or even all coils to touch together? meaing it wont have room to compress any further causing a horrible ride.

Correct two types
If you like your height and just need to improve on the quality of the valving, I can move the spring perch up to maintain the height you have.

Currently the threaded sleeve is zinc plated, not the nut. But the nut is going to be zinc plated on future orders.
Also the option of stainless can be done also because the different climated around the states.

Yes the springs will be compressed more than you have now but not much more depending which strut you purchase. You can adjust the adjusting nut to the bottom to put the springs on and then adjust the nut back up to the desired height when done.
Proper spring compression is key to having a good suspension set-up.

*ahem* if you need a car to test/show off your product on drop me a line(i'm, in LA, CA so going to you wouldn't be a big problem)... because ya i dont think the people on this site are sold on your product yet. would help if someone on this board got to test it out and tell people how it is. sounds like a good concept and there are alot of people looking for a full strut(or a strut other then koni). but people aren't willing to shell out $600 to an unknown company with no reviews of any kind. just trying to help you(and me) out.... might want to think about it.

Sounds like a good Idea, just need to make sure that the person that gets the struts will be the one that others believe in when they give their test results on the product.

I am in the market for struts that will reduce the bounce that I feel with my GCs. I don't mind paying 600.00 if they do the job AND if you offer a warranty in writing with any stipulations. Also what is your return policy?
If your looking for someone to give their review, how about giving me a trial period of one month and I will give my honest opinion. If I like them, I will purchase them at your retail price. We can setup a legal binding contract for the trial period.
This way everyone wins. You don't lose out on a set and I have the option of a trial period with the option to purchase and I will give my honest review since I will be paying for it if I keep them.

So does anyone have a set of these yet? What do you guys think about these struts, is this a legit product or is everyone still a little cautious about the whole thing?
I think I'd be more interested in being able to buy pre-hacked strut/steering assemblies that i can add my own performance strut into. So I can keep my stock ones intact and still upgrade to a koni yellow or something.

strutwizard - you would sell a bunch of these here if you would just get a set of them installed on someone's car in this forum so the members can get a review of the product. I don't understand the hold-up with this. It makes the product look suspicious in my opinion that we can't get one set installed to test.

ya i already tried asking, told them that i could even drive up there myself to get it done... only reply was "Lookin for some number of people that are really interested". what exactly does that mean? have no idea... i was searching on the web and only found like 3 cars that actually had them. i would like height adjustable struts but they still are just shortened versions of OEM struts and their $600 so i'll just keep my money for now.
