Strut Selection for 7th Gen Civics
Ok this is from the website (http://www.7thgencivic.com/forum/mes...threadid=57985)
Basically this outlines FAQ's about 7th generation drops to do.
He says this though about the struts ... but I have called around to NoZ, Kaotics, FL, and Speedstyle and these guys all recomended KYB AGX struts
This guy says this though:
Do i have to get new struts as well?
besides worrying about your shocks blowing, do you care about the ride quality? the ride on lowering springs is never going to be the same as stock. their going to be stiffer and your going to feel more bumps. it will probably be more bouncy as well. usually the lower the drop, the worse the quality. and sport springs are going to be worse then race. aftermarket shocks or even shorter shocks are going to improve the ride quality. right now the only ones available for our cars are konis(these are inserts so you'll have to modify your stock struts in order to put these on your car because these are not full struts). another one is Bec Tec. these are shorter versions of stock shocks. i dont think anyone has these on their car yet because its basically a unknown company. maybe someone with alot of money can get them and try it out. these are full strut replacements and they also come in an adjustable version. not a adjustable damper setting but adjustable height. for more info on bec tec search for the username 'strutwizard'
WHATS he mean by right now the only one available are the koni inserts Is this true. Does this mean KYB AGX's won't fit on my car
