Won't these things act like coilovers since you have an adjustable perch that the springs sit on?

I had "shorty" dampers and springs on my old Jetta: Eibach springs and Spax dampers...the ride was actually better than stock: no body lean, no bouncyness, just firm and controlled

I'd venture to say, w/o having tried them of course, that these are probably the best solution yet for our cars...especially since 7th gen civics are lighter than most similar size cars.

HeRbaLuS, you should check out the thread link in the very first post...Strutwizard answers a lot of questions and explains the merits of the shorty struts vs. stock ones w/ lowering springs

I think I got in a little late on this. Is this a new adjustable from "strutwizard" I guess? Will these be compatible with ground controls?

Yes, THis is a new shortened ride height adjustable coilover that uses most standard lowering springs.

Slip on sleeve kits are not required with this system.

Yes, they do act just like true coilovers not the slip on sleeve type.

Ride quality is one of the main reason that I design shortened ride height adjustable struts because lowered cars don't have to ride like "Tanks"

Lower center of gravity and increase spring rate and up-graded valving equate to smooth ride and greatly improved handling.

From the members it sound like the koni's are bottom out, the Bec-tech's are not.

The tires will tucken under the fender before you can think about blowing out the strut. I have been using this type of strut technology for over 12 years.

The strut works like the factory setup, bottom out is not part of the design.

Wait...so if we get these, do we have to get lowering springs as well or could the stock ones be used?

If you want to lower the car only to lower and not change the handling very much than you can use the stock springs. Using lowering springs will give you more of a drop and improve the handling much better than using the stock springs.

Sorry but I designed the strut to work with full diameter springs like the car was designed to have on it.
