Once it gets a little warmer out they will be put on.

what struts are you going to use? how much of a drop?
njm92383
Going to use the stock ones. The drop should be 1.8 and 1.5.

I would suggest you get aftermarket struts. The stock struts on your car arent made to handle the spring rates of those springs. Your ride will probably be bouncy, and your struts wont last long. Just my .02.

Agreed

he should be alright for a while; those aren't TOO aggresive of springs... even the cheap coil-over sleeves on my stock struts rides pretty decent (for 1year+)

Yeah I looked into struts a little bit but when i read some other
peoples post about their application they were just using the stock
ones and the ride didn't suffer. So for now i am going with the stock
ones until either one breaks or I don't like the ride and think they
will help out.

Anyone have a suggestion on which type of struts to get?
I was thinking of either getting Koni Sport Line or Tokio Illiumina
blue.

from back in my honda owning days and by suggestion of my autox'ing cousin (has a civic) I would go with the Koni's. Tokicos are more of a soft strut so Im told. I have KYB's on my car, which for most cars are just a replacement, but they were the best available for the $$ for my beretta. I have a pretty stiff ride, but its not bouncy at all.

Well here is a little up date. I got the fronts on saturday and when we went to install the rear we broke a bolt.
Need less to say i gotta get new lower control arms because i have to cut the bushings in the old one. So for
now i am driving with the bolt welded in so i don't have camber the size of j-lo's ass. These are the control arms
i got. 99 bucks shipped.

the LCA-to-strut bolt? i had to cut it last time and it looks liek i'm going to have to again (i replace the bolt and LCA about a year ago rolleyes.gif )
njm92383
No it wasnt the LCA bolt. It might of well been that bolt but it was the LCA to the Trailing arm.

Every honda guy has to do that at least once. Ive had to cut out that bolt on two of mine. The first time it took two weeks with a dremel after work. That sucked.
