Just got a set in for my 2000 Civic EX.



Opened the box!
Hmmm....stainless steel.



Installed my GC top hats and replaced the Eibach bumpstop/dustcover with the Ground Control bump stop. I'm missing washers for the front shocks, so nothing is ready to install in the car. Will wait on the two washers from Ryan. Should get them installed later this week and take it for a test ride.



These are some high quality shocks. Will have LOTS of detail coming with the install, with LOTS more pictures. Just wanted to give you a teaser.

Great! Can't wait!! Damn, that thing is packaged nicely!! haha.

dantastic

stainless? i wonder why they didn't go with aluminum... it's lighter and can be just as strong. they look nice though. are the shocks adjustable at all?

although my sportlines sagged like little bitches, i've had nothing but good performance from my ERS GC springs

Stainless = strength and corrosion protection

While aluminum is lighter, its not as strong and has to be built thicker to compensate. These are built to work for the long haul.

No, they are not adjustable, only in height.

how does this compare to the package they are selling...the GC's with KONI's and with the GC top hats...How much did that cost you?

the tops hats are cool, but with those bumpstops, it doesnt look like u will be getting any suspension travel at all cuz it looks like its a short stroke kit

The bump stop goes up inside the top hat.

I like the shocks, but I would never buy springs. Have fun with them!!

Ummm...so you are going to run shocks without springs???

nice coilovers. There looking much better than my koni coilovers - but there adjustable
But you will have fun. Eibach makes some high quality stuff

Marauder

Yeah, I've had Koni Yellow's on my 96 Integra I had. My plan was to put Koni's on my civic, but I decided to try these out. After I get them installed and drive on them for a little while, I'm going to take the progressive rate springs off and go with a Eibach race spring setup instead.

That looks good man... Let us know how you like it... WHere'd did you get those top hats and how much are they?? I WANT THEM.

Marauder

The top hats are from Ground Control.

They sell for $120/pair and come with hardware, bump stop, and a top spring bushing.

Marauder
