Icon2 S2k stock suspension

Hi guys,

I'm interested in purchasing stock shocks for my '00 S2k, I want to keep it as stock as possible(I like factory ride/performance compromise). Can you guys give me suggestions of websites were I can buy them?

I always kinda figured that the S2000 struts would fit on civics. Was it all just a bolt in? I have my stock schwag just laying around. Might as well see how it does on my EM1.

Buy them used online, you will pay and arm and a leg from any dealer (online or not).

I would consider buying them used but there is no way U can tell how much use/abuse they have..... so its pretty much a uneducated buy...... any other suggestions?

Buy them used...they'll be fine. Just look over the auction well. There are plenty of auto recycler sites that sell parts with a warranty.

you have to break the shock nut on the s2k struts and run the civic bolt with a nut, washer and lock washer on the other side. i have mine with skunk 2 rsx coils on civic coilver sleeves.

Well it all depends on what spring rate your particular coilovers came with. I think that usually the rates for the RSX and earlier civics are similar.

I used to have RSX/01+ Civic sleeve overs on my 99 hatch. The rates were like 250/350 IIRC...or was it 350/450. Either way...around the same rate as a lot of sleeve overs for earlier civics.
