ok i'm looking for a good OEM replacement Strut, i'm not going with a honda part this time, personally when it comes to suspsenion parts of these civics the honda parts are junk, the struts i have in my car now are starting to go already and they were only replaced a few weeks over a year ago and honda wont do anything for me seeing as its past the 1 year, anyway they will need to be replaced and i dont wanna go with the genuine honda part.

Does anyone know of a company that makes a good OEM replacement front strut for a 2001 Civic dx?

 

Koni

What makes you think they're going already?

 

tokico blues

 

both are knocking. The Passenger side is pretty well leaked out already and the drivers side is starting. I had a friend of mine(whos also my mechanic) have a look and he confirmed what i already knew.

i bought the car used almost 3 years ago, i replaced the struts for the first time front and back at 80,000 km's, the front again a year ago at 100,000 and now i'm at 118,000 km's and the fronts are bad again.
the back are still good, turns out those were an aftermarket strut, and i have no idea the name because of the rust over the stamp and sticker already pealed off.
but i've learned my lesson on the honda struts, never again.

 

tokico blues have lifetime warranty

 

If I had an '01-02 Civic, I'd probably have Bilstein Sports on it. Some people feel that they ride harsh, but I prefer my cars a bit overdamped.

I'm partial to the Bilsteins over the Konis for this application because they are a complete strut including the body, rather than an insert that requires modifying the stock body. Much simpler to install.

 

Wtf.... Dont u f***in noobs see the faq's... I kno y this forum is so dead now

 

Moderator please lock

 

Dude relax, i searched and found nothing, the FAQ's didnt tell me a good OEM strut.
thats why i asked.
you need to chill

anyway to those that actually gave me some direction, thank you, i do appreciate it.

cheers

 

id check out your local mechanic. Im sure they have a brand that they commonly use. I had the same problem and picked up some tokico blues and really like them. They are a bit stiffer than oe spec, but not much. Ride quality is still really good. Check ebay for them. I got mine for around $250-300 shipped. Just make sure if you look on ebay that you are getting legit tokicos. there are definatly a lot of frauds on there marketing crap under other reputable company's names.

 

i bought Kyb GR2s as a replacements and its been about 3 years now and its still holding up pretty good not to mention i have tien stech lowering springs as well

 

Both Bilstein and Koni make quality parts.
