I have a 01 Civic (ES1). I'll be buying the the GC/Koni combo pretty soon and I am still confuse between the 50mm and the 55mm (correct me if I'm wrong) outer diameter housing? Which one is it really? I've tried searching but there's just no straight answer around here. If i have to measure it myself, what do I have to measure? Dont know much bout suspension so clarifications will be greatly appriciated TIA

Another thing. I already have a lowering spring on my car. If i just buy the koni struts and set the rear to the off road setting and the front to be in the normal setting, is it gonna raise the back of my car by a little bit?

Bump Anyone???

 

Have you talked directly with Ground Control?

 

I think that would be koni he would want to call if it was the strut housing size.

 

Heh, yeah good call. A case of brain and fingers not synching up.

 

Had my koni/gc setup recently installed on a 2004 Ex. Still trying to figure some things out, but I'll keep you posted.

The measurement should be the outside of the oem strut tube.
From what I've read, the 50mm strut body is for 01-02 Civics, the 55mm for 03-05.
