I have a 2002 honda civic EX manual sedan. It's my daily, and I'm sure this question is asked frequently. But couldn't find the right forum for me. I am looking for the most comfortable and budget friendly set up, but I also love winter E brake drifting! I would like to stay atleast under $500 for parts all the way around. Also, I'm no professional mechanic, so something on the simpler side for installing as well. Thanks for your input!

in snow, you want a compliant and long stroke suspension, not a stiff and short one

I like rock auto. Wouldn't mind supporting them. Which ones should I get from them? And I've only had the car for about 3 years. I've put probably 15,000 miles on her. So I have no idea when the last time they were replaced.

I am also wondering what other kinds of things I should replace while changing the struts? Anything that is easier to change while im dug in with the struts? I'm assuming most things have not been touched at all.

looks like carID might have a few more options? I am just looking for the most comfortable ride..

since you quoted me, i think you are asking me specifically? I have not used stock shocks since 2005 (different priorities)

Well thanks anyways man. I think I might go with fcs? Would you also have any ideas of smaller things in those areas I can add to the job just to help the situation that much more??
