i have never even heard of these. If you want a good set you should go with the Koni Yellows, they even have adjustable rebound dampers on them and you will probably find some good reviews on those

I had those on my 97 acura integra, only had them on for a few months before someone hit and totaled my car, but I can tell you I felt it handled pretty well, and they gave me a lifetime guarantee, for the price at the time it was well worth it. Can't comment on reliability though as I only had them a few months... Still my my integra....

Koni yellows last time I heard it needs to heck up your stock structs. I hate that, that means the stocks suspension is done. At least this one has front structs.

when is koni going to make it right and make a struct that fits our civics?

Please let us know what springs you end up using, what camber kit(s) (front and/or rear) and your impressions.

jt, it looks like that, for a while at least, you will be official guinea pi . . . um, word on this product.

Ooo, I'm so excited. At last, an overall combo-solution to the springs/shocks dilemma.

like mrgarcia said, you will adore them man. chris redshift said they're very similar to the koni oranges and i believe it. they give the car a real sporty feel without beating you up as much. just make sure to get front camber bolts and rear camber kit because camber is gonna be pretty off with the h&r. i believe chris redshift also as alignment suggestions on his website.

Did you order them because your stocks went out? Im looking into buying h&r springs but curious how long before the stock shocks go out

I put the H&R's on around 44k and I'm close to 61k now. 90% of my commute is highway. The stocks haven't completely gone out and I haven't noticed any leaks, but they are getting real squishy and not bouncing back like they were when I initially put them on.

I don't anticipate it really changing the height at all. I was thinking the spring would be the final say on the height, but I guess it could affect it. Can anyone advise on that? The shocks are shorter in design when compared to OEM.

Unless you've got Peterbuilt shocks in there (haha), the springs will determine the ride height.

Im glad someone is trying this out! Eventually when I do decide to go for new shocks/struts, I'm thinking these with some H+R springs too. Not to go off topic, but those (H+R springs) are about a 1.5-1.7 inch drop, right?

Yes, that is pretty darn perfect. :)

I've had S-techs on my two previous cars. They looked great but they blew my stock shocks pretty fast. Granted the car did have 55+k when I installed them so they where probably going out anyways. Not sure what the spring rate was on those. I decided to get the H&Rs just to try something different. So far I'm extremely happy with them.

I really cant wait until there's a nice selection of aftermarket shocks for the 9th gens.

I received the shocks and struts from Pro Civic Thursday night. The part number on the box is TH-H505. For anyone else that may run into this, apparently the original part number for the '12-'13 (TH-H512) was a temporary part number and has been absorbed into the TH-H505. The only difference was the mounting tab for the end links which is now included with the 505. Pro Civic initially informed me of this part number change and I also confirmed through TruHart. Pics of product to follow soon...
