03+ KYBs
I just spoke to the tech over at KYB and was told that their front struts for the 03+ Civics won't be available until some time next year (06). Bad news for me and anyone else who's looking to get these but is impatient. Just thought I'd give you all the heads up.

better off with koni rather than tokico. if you modify the tokico you'll lose the warranty.

I have them on my 03. All you have to do is enlarge the knucle bolts holes to fit the 16mm bolts and that's it.
