Like most of the 01 civic owners, you know that your struts are garbage, if your lucky then honda can replace them within 60k km under warrenty.. I'm one of those people that can't ge them replaced, so I want to upgrade.

I was wondering if koni is the only company that has struts for our cars !?
Is there maybe a full shock and strut setup anywhere ?!?
Anything would be of help, because I dont want to get honda struts and blow them again...


Thanks in Advance !

There is no Shock/Strut out yet besides the KYB GR-2s and those are an OEM like shock. Other than that, you are stuck with Koni Inserts. The AGX and Tokico Blues are supposed to be out, but we have been waiting for those for years.

yuk !! so I dont even see the point of lowering my car if stock struts arn't able to handel it...

this is going to kill me because I have to get new struts one way or another

Ive read alot about the koni inserts, how much do they go for $ ?

$550 shipped usually. most people are going for true coilovers. konis are really good shocks, but you won't be able to keep your OEM suspension in stock condition.

tirerack.com said it had the KYB AGX Externally Adjustable shock/struts for 01 lx coupe

I won't believe any website until someone has them in their hands and posts pictures. Some people have "preordered" them but i doubt they will be getting them soon. BLAH. And they are inserts too from the looks of them.

robbclark1, what do you think I should do in my situation, since I want to lower my car in the future/soon, and I have to get new struts neways?

I say true coils or a set of springs with konis. Coils are nice because they give you a lot of adjustability but sometimes that adjustability can be a pain. i have been adjusting my coils since I put them on in early March and they still aren't where I want them, but they are a direct swap in. Search around and see what kind of coils/springs you might want.

from what ive heard, the KYB's for our cars will be a full replacement, which includes the steering arm(the pic above is a generic one). on ephatch, someone emailed them and basicly found out that the reason they keep getting delayed is because they are fine tunig the steering arm

im waiting to drop till these are released. im not gonna do the coil over thing, and im not gonna cut the front struts. so, wait i will....

Hey all!!! This is my first reply or whatever ya wants to call it... But, I downloaded the Kyb catalogue from their site. it has a listing for the 01-02, but not for my 03.. They have the numbers there for the Gr-2's and the AGX's... The links to the sites where you can buy them are also in the catalogue...
BTW..... Has anyone had any trouble with their steering parts?? I am gettin a weird "knocking" sound when i move my whell from left to right...

save yourself the hassel and get true coilovers. you get a shock that is designed to work with the springs it comes with.... what more can you ask for. i guarantee you will not regret it

Yeah, get those D2 coilovers in the gb section. I think $850 shipped.
