I've seen and ridden in 3 cars with stock struts and ebay coilovers and I was none the less suprised at the ride they gave. One was a h22t accord the other a built b16 EK coupe and a built lsvtec ef hatch, oh and a d16t eg hatch. None were very hard and only the EG had a little bounce when going over larger bumps.

All of these cars had quite a bit of power being put to the ground and all were dropped to at least a 1 finger fender/tire gap, the hatches were both tucking. All of the civics had ef coilover sleeves and the accord had accord sleeves. All of them were by the "Bomz" brand and are still holding up to this day. Except for the coupe. It got stolen.

 

Also team-integra probably has some articles that could help you out as well.

 

I have ebay coil-overs and struts in my beater and it rides like a dream.

 

you got ebay struts?
or ebay coilovers with other struts

 

Here is a link to a site that has a hole bunch of honda service manuels on it. Just sign up with some bs info, except your email, and then go back to it and download the manuel you need.

fyi used is normaly the same price or close as ebay and a shit ton better.

 

just smoke on it , it will come to you.

 

extremely cheap ebay shit is ftl If you must have your civic slammed for no reason(a suspension must have travel to function properly) then go with the megan coil sleeve coil overs.

 

thanks for all the input guys

 

1. eBay does not build nor sell any part. They offer a listing service for the vendor to sell.

2. Rule of thumb for Honda suspension, do not attempt to lower the car while retaining the stock struts. They are not built to work at the lowered height and WILL fail prematurely.

3. The "ebay suspension" you are most likely refering to have a pretty high spring rate and should be used with at least lowcost performance minded struts(yellows, agx) to work correctly.
