I'm very tired of the problems with Hondas stock front struts and springs, so I'm thinking of buying aftermarket front struts and springs.

Any ideas which are the best for a nice soft ride and driving feel without lowering. Oh! I'd also like them to be trouble free for 4 or 5 years.

What kind of troubles are you having with your stock set-up? And the only people making shocks is Koni.

Today, I had a good chat with Honda about my ongoing 2001 Civic front strut and spring problem and they said they'll replace the front struts and springs yet again.

The sad part is, they know the 2001 replacement struts and springs won't be any better. I asked them if they could use struts and springs from the 2003 Civic and they told me, they're not the same as the ones on the 2001. I guess, they've changed the design as well as the manufacturer.

Also, did you know all Civic struts and springs are made in Thailand.
Hmm .... Enough said !!!

i think 03s uses bearings, 01s uses plates for the front struts to rotate.
03s also has stiffer rear dampening.
