Alright so ive owned my civic for a while and always knew it had coilovers on it, but never knew what brand. I just switched over my summer tires to winters and decided to take a look at the suspension and couldnt find any kind of branding on them other than a bunch of numbers. these are what i found: 52610-SRO G010M1, then a serial number i assume of 930320. Any help would be really appreciated

 

Pictures of mystery coilovers?


52610-SR0-G01 would be a factory rear damper assembly for a 93 or so Civic. Highly doubt that a damper would be serialized, it's more likely to be a lot number or vendor information.

 

"Dick Tracy and the mystery of stock shocks with sleeves on them" is the hottest comic in the world right now.

He solved the whole thing with no pictures posted by the OP too.

I love a good mystery.

 

Thanks for the chuckle.

 

Lulz.

 

Pic of the coilover

 

They're stock shocks with some sort of no-name sleeve/spring. They look like something that sank with the titanic. Are you having troubles? Or just looking to ID them?

 

Just wondering what they are haha, theyve worked perfectly for the time ive had the car (5ish years)

 

Well...now you know.

That seems like the ride height is set pretty dang low, though.

 

 

Well thanks for the help Yeah its kinda slammed lol

 

No problem! You're riding on bumpstop 100%, BTW.

 

Meaning? Sorry, i dont know much about suspension

 

Meaning that the car is so low that you're using the foam bump stoppers to assist the springs 100% of the time.
And thaf when your car is iust sitting there, it is very close to bottoming out the shock.

Ultimately, it means that the car would ride substantially better and shocks would last longer if it were about 1" or 1.5" lower than stock. I'm assuming its likely 3" or more lower than stock currently.

I'm guessing its been that way for a while...so the shocks are probably pretty worn down.

BUT....If you're comfy and don't care about the said concerns...then everything is alright one way or the other, and you can ignore me.

 

Honestly ive never really had a problem with how it rides, its not the comfiest but ive gotten used to it i guess haha. is there any point in raising the car to perserve the life of the shocks considering theyre just the old stock shocks anyway? cause if not then ill just leave it the way it is

 

i really apreciate the help btw

 

Even if those dampers were never lowered and were babied for their entire life they would be worn out by now. Considering that's not the case, I wouldn't worry about it at this point.

 

Yeah, You're definitely needing new suspension fairly soon. Start saving up! Nobody likes ricer bounce.

 

No prob! Leave it how it is if you don't have any issue with it.

 

Ok well thanks for the help guys! i think im just gonna leave em the way they are tho.
