First tip : Go front AND back.

Second Tip : It's easy, don't worry about it. : )

You have got to be kidding me. You only ordered the rear ones? It's no wonder why Civic drivers get their reputation as ricers. Look what kind of fvckin morons are out there. "Uh okay I'll buy two shocks." That's like going to Footlocker and asking to buy one shoe now and the other later.

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Whats wrong with getting just the rear konis if hes gonna get the fronts later? Not like the stock suspension is so well calibrated that it'll mess up his handling. The stock suspension sucks and hes got the right idea with the upgrade.

ask me? man i dont even know.. but then i would think its fine... my reasoning for this...
01 vs 02 suspension. the front are the same but the rears are different. not sure if its the shocks that are different or the springs but still...
also konis you have different levels of damper settings... put the front very soft and the rear very stiff... is that bad? i'm not sure but i dont think it is. i'm sure one of the settings on the konis is similar to the stock shocks. so i dont see why its badd. i dont know.. someone please correct me cause i'm not sure myself.. i dont know everything you know, i still have alot of learning to do.

There's nothing wrong with buying the rear shocks separately from the fronts. Leave them on the soft or middle setting and the damping and balance will feel fine, even with stock fronts (right now).

The only way you might be considered a ricer by purchasing two shocks is if you bought only LEFT side shocks for your car
