wannaBstuntin Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 There are two options that come up for my vehicle. One says: Front fitment for models with 50.5mm outer diameter front struts. Twin Tube Low Pressure Gas Externally Adjustable Strut catridge insert Must reuse OE strut housing. The other says: Front fitment for models with 53.8mm outer diameter front struts. Twin Tube Hydraulic Externally Adjustable McPherson Strut Cartridge Any idea which I need? I've tried looking for specs but can't find them. Thanks guys! P.S. My vehicle is right there <-------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Wow. The retailer doesn't organize it by year-make-model? I'd look on Koni's own application chart to find the exact part number and then order them from whatever retailer you can find them at cheap. That's what I did when I was buying struts for my del sol and it worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannaBstuntin Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 no luck....still gives me 2 options.... and it looks like they both require cutting the oem housing. Last time this was a b****....so I dunno what I should do.... I would probably skip struts altogether if I were sure I didn't need them for lowering springs.... anybody know if I can install the lowering springs without the use of aftermarket struts???

Ben. Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 If you go with springs without struts you're liable to wear your stockers down fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 i have tokico struts and didnt have to modify anything to put them on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 I don't think tokico applies to civics. I couldn't find them listed. Thanks though, air. I think I've decided to get the eibach pro street-s coilovers. $995 That will save a lot of headache, and my entirre suspension will be Eibach. Thanks for your help and suggestions guys.

wannaBstuntin Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 w00t Thanks, air. I'll look into those. Still not sure if they need to be modified or not though. I'm most likely not going to do this till spring anyways, so I'll have time to check these out. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
