i want to order these and put them on my oem shocks for now does any one have them hows good are they???

 

Lowering springs on OEM shocks/struts is a big no-no, for the 7th gen. Civic. You'll run into blown shocks/struts.

 

alright thanks i guess ill just wait what are a set of good shocks/struts at a reasonable price?

 

I have the S-Tech's on stock struts..haven't blown them yet. rides pretty nice.

 

please just do it right the first time...

Ive had H&R sports ( similar drop to the s-techs) on my OEM struts for about a year and a half now. The ride is less than thrilling but does the job if your not into any serious racing.

I believe my rear's have finally blown, but i cant really tell and havent bothered to check, luckily for me I only need the car for a month more then i get my Tacoma.

Bud, it's just safer to swap them when you swap the springs. My sister's shocks/struts blew out only after a month of use with the new springs. So, there's no telling how long his would last.

 

spend the extra and get some coilovers. worth every dollar. Installed a set of tein basics thursday night and i love the right and the right hight. Lowered about 2 inches and it rides great. Only complaint is they pop and make noises when i first start the car up and drive it. goes away after a few minutes. was told will go away ina 2 weeks or so.

 

i have those springs on my em2, with tokico adjustables, havent had a problem yet....i know for a fact that the em2's front struts are very weak, i have replaced alot of them at my work

yup i love mine, but i used rsx top hats with mine to eliminate the popping all together...

 

well i want the tein springs but im thinking of pairing them with a set of tokico shock/struts

 

you cant go wrong with blues.....i have the nuespeed sport springs with blues and it rides wonderful.My blues make it so I cant even tell that my car is on when I am not moving.The only problem is that I had to drimel out the holes alittle bigger on the front shocks to make the stock bolts fit.

 

all tein lowering springs are developed to be used in conjunction with OEM or OEM replacement shocks.

 

you can use them with OEM shocks but that doesnt mean that the shocks will take the abuse.

 

im just goin off what the tein catalog says

 

yea i know. but its been proven by members that lowering your car with aftermarket springs tend to blow out OEM shocks very soon.

 

i have had skunk2 springs w/ 2in drop for almost 2 years and shocks/struts are still ok.....

 

I wouldn't do lowering springs on stock shocks....not good!

 

BOUNCyBOUNCyBOUNCy BOING....

pop and splat, sh*t there goes the OEM struts...

Thats why you should buy my setup in the FS thread..
