Default NO $$$ ButI need new shocks 2000 civic turbo Daily Driver

I dont really want to spend a whole lot on shocks

And I dont plan to lower it

right now its all stock suspension with origanal shocks 140,000miles

setup in sig

Its a Daily driver and will never see the track maybe drag ....MAYBE

I dont want to waste my time buying cheap shocks if there
junk but would like a Sporty ride

Autozone $280
ebay $170 shipped
kyb gr2 $ 300

thanks for the input

You can get them at tirerack for like 240

It is going to take a little bit for them to ship because of all the orders. They are probably selling like crazy due to the 25%off sale.

Wow man, so quick to shun Koni? I found their CS to be excellent when I had a problem with one of my new Koni Sport shocks.

Have you emailed them? Everytime I email them I get a response in 3-4 days at the longest.

don't ask for customer service, ask for tech. you get through within 15 minutes, make your question technical, like is there a fitment that will work since you don;t see one in the catalog?

According to tirerack.com, availability is estimated at 4/15. So these might be selling like hotcakes, which is probably why the OP did not get any kind of notification for shipment.

STR.T's selling like hotcakes huh?? Wonder how many people are just getting them so they can say they have Koni shocks, only to throw some POS coilovers to be super slizzamed y0! and promptly blowing out the shocks in a short amount of time.
