big spender for 1 day....SHOCKS BLOWN

today i was very happy cause my sony flipface HU, springs and projector lights arrived. took the car to a shop and get the springs installed. and found out my shocks are blown, just 13k miles...since only koni yellow works for a 2k1 civic, i had to order it, and that cost me a fortune. i hope they work well

Before installing the springs, I would have taken the car back to the dealer because they would replace all 4 shocks for free. After that i would have installed the springs and the shocks should last a while. Save up $$$$ and then get the Koni Yellows... I'm just cheap like that.

But hey, you had the money for Koni Yellows so tight man. Don't forget to post pics!
