coilover's with sport struts

quick question for you experts, would this setup be better then coilovers with stock struts? anyways i'm new to this forum and the world of hondaz. i was a hater at one time but now that i'm stuck getting a 01 civic because of finance problems. you all have pretty clean cars and hopefully i can mod my car with some of your ideas.

of course! i'd recommend getting some koni's if you get coilovers... unless you get full coilovers, which don't need shocks

yup i used to be a hater too. n look i have a civic myself... it was basically the best car i could afford, it was between this or a sentra. i know sentras are faster but civics look better... but ya anyways...
of course "sport struts" are going to be better then stock. but ya you might want to look into true coilovers if your taking this route.. cause coilovers 300 + shocks 500-600 is 800-900. true coilovers are about 800-1200.

Coilovers are adjustable springs to raise or lower you car and shocks/struts is what keeps your car riding smooth. Without them or if your shocks/struts are blown your car will bounce like crazy. If you drop your car you will need sport struts to keep from bouncing. The stock ones won't last very long. Full coilovers are adjustable springs with built in shocks/struts. I hope this helps you out.
