will these springs fit my civic?
i have a 2005 civic coupe VP
will these springs fit?
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1340111
are there any other differences between the 01-05 civic coupes?
like this one guy who had a 01-03 lip said it wouldnt fit my car? whhy? i was under the assumption that they were all the same
on my old 1993 civic i had lowering springs on stock shocks and they never went out till i sold the car almost a year....
ive heard reliability issues with the 7th gen civic shocks...true?
also ive installed the springs on my 93 civic myself, but when i peeked around my new 05 civic, i noticed the linkage and the whole suspension setup in itself was a little different? ...but it's a piece of cake right?

The lip will not fit, because after 2002, they changed the Civic slightly to make it a little more stylish. Mechanically, they are the same, but cosmetically, they have some key differences. The front bumper being one. I've had Tein SS springs on my '04 civic for about 6 months now, and so far, I've had no problems with my shocks.

as long as the springs are for 01-03 civic, it should fit 04-05.
the 7thgen civic was the first generation with macpherson struts. it's a little different than what you're used to, but yes, it's pretty simple.
for your shocks it depends how much you drop. keep in mind, the 7thgen weighs heavier than previous generations. a good rule of thumb, if you drop more than 1.0", invest in shocks, because you'll blow them eventually anyway.
the 01-03 have the same front bumper. 04-05 are slightly different (because of the headlights and grill), so i honestly don't know if the lip would fit. might want to poke around at 7thgencivic.com
