Hello all!

I have a 2001 Civic LX coupe....for the last 3 years I had it lowered on Eibach...I recently took off the Eibach and put the original springs back on. One problem, my original shocks are now blown and need to be replaced. What kind of shocks / struts should I get? Do i need both front and back? Where should i buy the shocks / struts at?

Since my car is not raised to original height, I dont think I need performance shocks...I just want more original smooth ride back! Please let me know if you have suggestions...I really do need help!

Well your going to need new shocks in the front and rear. If you dont want aftermarket shocks just get OEM ones even tho they are going to cost as much as aftermarket ones.

how is your car not at original height with your OEM springs on? Well your only option is OEM shocks, tokico blues, or koni yellows. Those are the only 3 things out right now. If you want to spend the least amount of money, I would go with the tokicos. The konis and OEM's are going to be about the same. OEM might be a bit less, but I doubt it.

get the tokicos
or if you are really cheap try to find some good used ones from a member who is getting a full coil over kit.

I say get the konis cause they are adjustable and you can get more feel out of them. Tokicos arent.

Why did you put your OEM springs back on in the first place?

dont go and buy new shocks from a dealership .... that'll cost a fortune search around here on ebay or just go buy some aftermarket shocks.

if you get...
OEM: value of car will be actual. when selling or trading in the car, your car will have "no worn/wear of shocks". NOTE: DO NOT PURCHASE DIRECTLY FROM HONDA DEALER. YOU'LL REGRET IT IF YOU DO

Tokico blues: aftermarket, value of car most likely goes down. best decision IMO, known to be good for street use. affordable and reasonable for its price

Koni Yellow: an insert which may be for your situation. high cost. not worth going for if you just want that stock/smooth ride back. requires more work of installation compared to others.


i'd personally consider the tokico blues. but i have a question: why did you put stock springs back on?
