Rep Power: 393 only other options other then konis are true coilovers or bec tec struts... he was advertising here a while back but doesn't come anymore... no one has got these yet and they dont seem like a reputable company.. search for 'bec tec' or the user name 'strutwizard'

Rep Power: 0 once the KYB's come out.. they'll sell like hotcakes... KYB generally have very high quality products with really cheap prices... so as soon as the KYB blues or adjustable gas shocks come out, i'm getting them....

If i'm not mistaken, I believe the suspension on the RSX and the SI is the same or similar to our cars...And the RSX seems to be fairly popular to say the least. Any shocks that come out for it ought to fit our cars as well.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah Tokico, KYB, & Bilstein are all working on shocks for us.....Despite the fears I had on buying the Koni's because all the bad stories,,I still got them........I've never Been HAPPIER....
............I was scared about getting my front shocks hacked but I'm so much happier......My car rides so much smooother,its not a Kidney killer anymore......Rail road tracks no longer send the car's *** in the air...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..........I know the Koni's seem kinda expensive...TORNACTIVE(koni link) has them for $535,,,,less than $150 a piece..And they're adjustable to your driving habits...When you think about it Honda's OEM ones cost about $100 each, but Koni offers a LIFETIME WARRANTY(this is what sold me, think of it as an investment).....AGAIN, Definately Worth the Money$$.........

I have spoken with tokico a few times and they say september/october should be the release date for their shocks. At first it is gonna be hard to get them due to dealer buy-up's. I am personally waiting for them as they usually offer shock/spring combinations. I also talked to a rep at the carlisle, pa show and he said if they make springs with the shocks,it should produce a 1.5" drop which is perfect for me!!

Rep Power: 0 This is all good stuff to hear about new shock setups for our cars cause I want to get some coil overs but cant afford the Koni's.
I guess I will wait until next summer to do the suspension upgrades.
