Any suspension Problems?
I've heard that the steering has to do something with the struts in the front, but if coilovers does not use a strut, why are they selling them? Has anyone with B&G coilovers has any steering problems? Or does anyone with any brand of Coilovers have steering problems? Wouldn't these companies test the product before they release them for sale. Let me know, not too sure if I want to get any type of coilover system.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

alright lemme clear things up... there are two different type of coilovers:
1) true coilovers - these come with both strut and springs and are height adjustable
2) sleeved coilovers - these only come with the height adjustable springs, no strut...
"coilovers does not use a strut" you probably got confused with they dont come with a strut(refering to sleeved coilovers). but just because they dont come with it doesnt mean they dont use it.
for more information on our suspension read.. 7thgencivic suspension
look at the picture of part of the strut... our strut in the middle of the picture you see the control arm that is attached to our shocks. it is also connected to the tie rod(the brass peices that go through the middle). and the tie rod connected to our steering. so yes our struts are connected to our steering.
sleeved coilovers dont come with the strut so they dont come with the control arm, hence we need to use our stock ones.
true coilovers come with the strut so they come with the control arm, hence we dont need our stock ones just the ones the true coilover provides...
sleeved coilovers: skunk2, groundcontrol, weapon r, R1
true coilovers: b&g, tein
