Hi there

I was bouncing between Skunks, BWR and Tein Basis coilovers for my DD, but settled on this Tokico kit. http://performance.importrp.com/toki.../i-526313.aspx
You can find them for less than in this link, if you hunt. With the money I saved, I got some new SPyder head lights, leather wheelskin/wrap, car jack and spring compressors.

Pretty happy with my choice

remember the suspension for the 01-02 are diff than the 03-05. bolt clash bolt is bigger on the 03-05. rears are the same for all years 01-05.

tokico blues is a great alternative for a mild drop. skunk arnt that great (referring to their lower end stuff), BWR is complete crap...and teins are great.


first off, what is your budget? you will NOT get a decent setup for anywhere under $600 for just springs+struts...thats if you install it yourself.

and thats not including the price of an alignment afterwards.

Well im a tire tech at kal tire and the machanic does free work for shop workers so labour is paid for. and for the blues do those come with all i need, any bolts ,nuts ? does this civic only have struts and spring to replace? OR do they have shocks aswell? Will those blues replace front and back ? Thanks so much appreciate all the comments so far, also how mch drop will those blues give me? if any at all,

The Tokikos are just shocks.
They wont give you any lowering capabilities.

You'd need to get lowering springs like Tein S Techs. Which give about a 1.5" drop.

So If I got those it would be a complete system and would replace all my current system and then later if i wanted to lower it i would just neeed to get lowering springs ? Is there any other parts i would need with those?

Progress Technology or Ground Control springs with Koni Yellow shocks are the only thing i would consider using on these cars.

Correct, that Tikco kit comes with springs and will lower your ride 1". IF you want adjustability and easier install for yourself, check out the Tein Basis coil overs.

Sleepy has the best question, thus far that I have yet to see answered.. which is "What is your budget?"

Thanks
