neuspeed sport with stock struts/shocks ??

I've heard rumors of the stock shocks blowing in only a few weeks after installing lowering springs.

I need to know if anyones had problems with the stock shocks blowing after installing neuspeed sport springs on thier cars? i have an '02 civic sedan and can't afford to be buying aftermarket shocks if my stocks go.

Nope, i had mine for over a year on my 02 sedan and my struts still aren't blown, i had the Neuspeed sport springs too, only reason i changed was cuz i want the adjustability. Really nice ride on the neuspeeds too!

I ran on H&R Sports for just over a year, and the rears finally blew right around the 1-year mark. Two months later here I am with my full coilovers. But then again, I have an Acura EL (same as US Civic sedan) and the H&R website specifically says "NOT for EX sedan", lol. You'll be fine for quite some time, as long as you don't live in Hamilton (Ontario's crappiest paved roads). Even when they're blown, you can ride on them. The ride will just suck is all.
