But since thia is the suspension forum, you probably are alfeady set on purchasing these cheap chinese coilovers. Have fun with your blown shocks in a year.

I'm running AMRs right now and couldn't be happier, but to play devil's advocate I had Tein SS coilovers (which are more or less the same thing) on my Accord for five years and they never had a single issue. I probably put 50,000 miles on them and not a single one was blown. To my knowledge the owner that bought them off me is still running on the same set.

Street Basis is just an update/evolution of the Basics. Spring rates, specs are almost identical updates are on some body of the struts/shocks.

from heel toes review and i looked up the individual listing for civics on there site, it seems to be a decent part for a comfortable ride on a daily driver and to be a little lower, but def not a part to get if your expecting a great handling car
