i highly doubt it...not all honda suspension is interchangable...

that ebay listing is incorrect if it has it posted to 02.

plus don't get cheap ebay coilover's unless you really want to have that boat ride feeling go for it.

it looks funny when you hit a bump.

well Ive heard both good and bad about eBay coilovers. It's just tempting at acheap price and my want to lower my ride isn't helping I should really wait and save for some good springs. Recomend any good budget freindly springs guys?

I would get lowering springs instead of cheap coilovers.
Had them before on stock struts and boy it suck big time.

Save the cash and do it right!

budget friendly = basic skunk2's a few hundred bucks...
or you can go tien or function and forms high dollar stuff around a G

so they wont blow kyb shocks

i dont think so...i like kyb's. im using sprint springs w/ kyb's.. its got a nice smooth oem feel..i prefer kyb's over tokicos...i've seen a lot of tokicos blow prematurely
btw, i got my kyb struts new, almost 3 years old now, w/ used, way older sprint springs from a friend and they still ride sweet

with skunk 2 on them

my friend back in the day had a 92 lx sedan w/ tokico blues and skunk2's w/ 18" c2's... i personally didnt like the feel, a bit bouncy

KYB GR2s are stock replacement shocks. KYB AGX aren't supposed to be lowered more than 1.5". They won't blow right away, but any lower than that WILL eventually blow them.

But at least you're not dropping on stock shocks!


Ebay is not a brand. The items sold on ebay vary in quality. However, cheap coilovers are generally not the correct spring rate for our cars, are of very poor quality, and they CAN be dangerous. IF you can't afford to do it right, you can't afford to do it at all. Suspension isn't something to cheap out on. When that fails, you lose control of your car. And it won't fail in your driveway... it'll fail when you're racing some Civic on the highway going 90mph.

I have a set of dropzones. They are probably a lil better than e-bay stuff. I love my Sprint springs on dropzone shocks. Sprint springs on any shocks is a good ride.
