Not hard at all to cut the struts and install the koni's. Putting on the car is the hard part.

I think our struts have a steering bracket that makes it different.

rsx struts might fit but whats the whole point of that? just get stock civic struts... rsx struts are probably going to last just as long as civic struts

Hey, what's the difference between shocks and struts? Should I get shocks or struts when I lower my car?

shocks/struts, they are basically the same thing. struts are usually refered to what we have in the front tho, mcpherson struts. you know how we have that whole control arm connected to the 'shock', what we have are struts.

Yes. Koni Yellow Sport Shocks are the adjustable ones.

The non adjustables are red, but I don't think they make them for 2K1 Civic yet.

I've had the Koni Yellows on for about 6 months now. They work great and can be adjusted anywhere from a soft ride to almost solid like a wagon. I would also recommend some good springs to go with them. I used the Eibach Pro Kit. Get the Ebach sports if you want the car to be lower.

On our cars struts is prety much the whole front suspensio, along with springs.

On the rear you have just shocks and springs. The rest of the rear suspension is separate.
