Exclamation WTB: Stock Shocks

I want to buy anyone's stock shocks... (in good condition...so they can't be blown...)
I know alot of people have switched to koni's and have their shocks sitting around... so hit me up with some offers...

i would like all 4... but even the rear right, and front left would be fine...

let me know... thanks

i was hoping that i could find someone in Ontario, or even someone coming to the meet...

when ppl get Koni yellow, they all need their stock FRONT shocks and cut it and insert the koni into it. so forget the front....if u want the front then go to the dealer and get rape or try local junkyards.
for the rear, the Koni ppl dont need the stock rear, they just take off the stock one and replace with the yellow shocks. but i dont see a point of getting used stock shock.

if your shocks are blown, bring it back to teh dealer for warranty cuz they are under bumper and bumper (3 years or 60,000km) warranty.

or u can save up for koni yellow or Tein SS full coilover

hope that help answer your question.

yah i knew that with koni's you needed the front struts... i meant either koni's or tien's...

i don't think that honda will cover my stock struts because i blew them by lowering my car... if they are covered then i'd gladly take them in for warranty...

thanks for your suggestions...

(and i can't afford koni's right now... )

if you go to a honda dealership regularly for tune ups and oil changes and so forth...... they may looked past that you have lowered your car. just gatta talk to them i guess.

nope...yellow doesnt need the back...it's a straight replacement for the rear but the front u must use the stock strut housing and cut it then insert the yellow shox into it. there's no way to get around it because honda designed our car's suspension differently than the previous generations civic
koni was suppose to come out full replacement yellow for the front but i heard the cost to make them were high so they scrap that idea and stick with what they have now.

expect KYB and/or Tokico to come out something for our car...but time is to be announced.
save up for koni yellow or Tein SS if u could afford it

When u install Koni, the stock shocks in the front will be useless since they will be damaged from cutting the top part of the strut for the koni insert. But the back should be fine. I got a pair for rear stock shocks. Make me an offer...
