I have a 01 civic ex coupe and the suspension has gone to crap the last 20k miles, i don't want anything stiff for the most part a little lower would be fine but not that big of an issue for me. I just want to replace the suspension so the car rides normal again and doesn't feel like the struts will fall out when i hit a bump! I saw some at autozone that were 130 each for the front, 260$ just for two doesnt seem like that good of a deal with no springs. Can anyone lean me towards which ones to get.....just wanna get a good deal and save some money!

Its a 2001 Civic Coupe EX with 125k miles.

So far i have found these which i heard are good.

But it says the KYB strut boot is sold separately, do i need it? I also cant find where to buy it!

 

i would look to see if a better price is available but this is one of the best replacement shocks i can think of. lifetime warranty, direct fit and far better than any kyb gr2 or autozone shock. i did a quick scan and it appears that the 01-05 civics are just a bit more expensive than the integras or 99-00 civics. for those, this same set of shocks is $300

you might check www.thmotorsports.com, they are a koni dealer and generally have the best prices and excellent service

 

Isn't his link referring to just such a kyb shock?

I suppose you'r talking 'bout Koni's

 

You didnt specify which type of shock your talking about!

 

Koni Str.t

 

Not available for Civic 01-03.

 

not true,

i thought i posted a link to this before but i must have forgotten, the str.t is available for the 01-05 civic

You are correct.

They are not mentioned in the Koni NA catalogue, see here, application catalogue here says 'TBA', but the 'Koni Finder' on Koni.com does list the Streets and part#.
