Vote for your favorite struts then tell me why. Add some cause i don't feel like remembering them all. i'm only interested in adjustables.

If some of the retards on this board aren't mature enough to be able to deal with an "open poll" then I don't think they should be on the board to begin with. As for the guy who made the newbie remark... blow me

buy the way your car does not use struts. IT uses shocks, w/springs, NOT STRUTS

Unless he has a 2001 up Civic or RSX which do use struts. Please don't presume to tell people what they have, unless there is enough information to illustrate otherwise. Even if there is though, you can be a little more pleasant about it.

I have had Tokkico Blues and I like them. They work good with a small drop,too much will cause them to blow out fast.(So i've heard) But they lasted on my 92 CX for a year and are still going strong. I will be putting them on my 95 DX soon. They still act as if they are new.

I don't see why people keep saying that their EH's have "struts". This is the wrong terminology...not terminology, but the wrong word period. The chassis that our Civics are running on use a shock/spring combo. Use the right words, it's better for us all.

This is the EG"+" Civic forum, though. Agreed, EH's do not have struts. But, 2001 up Civics (I don't have the chassis codes on those - Chassis Code ****'s? Anyone?) do have struts. They are old fashioned MacPherson Struts.

We must make allowances that some of those people and their cars will be here.

Uh, admittedly though, the shock in spring design is remarkably like a strut design. It isn't a strut, but you kind of have to treat it like one, and the cost of the shocks are similar to strut costs rather than old fashioned shock costs.

Welp, my VIN says I have an EJ, but yes I was wrong using the word struts. Can anyone tell me what kinda of springs or coilovers they are using with their koni's?

KYB AGXs are great for the price. Good combo w/ GC's.

Koni yellows

I have the Koni coilover kit, but it still uses yellows. Fantastic shocks...
