Just did mine on S Techs Last night.
Before ---- ![]() After --- ![]() These are on stock shocks, so far. Wanting Konis but a little out of the budget at the moment. Let us know how those ebay cambers work out. |

Very nice. How's you camber with out them? I cancelled my order (rears) cause I had a few guys say I shouldnt need them. But if it's bad ill reorder them.
How's the ride so far on the stock shocks? Any popping noises. I did keep the front camber bolts. They'll be going on. A couple more weeks and I should be good to take the winter set up off. And put the springs and rims on. Sent from my iPhone JDM Style🔰 |

You really don't need them, I'd say. The camber isn't noticeably different although I need to do a measurement to be sure.
I have a squeak in my front driver side suspension but I had that before the TIENs as I hit a curb and f***d up my strut mount. Getting a new one in so I'll be doing this job all over again soon. |

Looks good, I like how the Stech gives it a nice subtle drop. about 1-1.5 inch

I'd agree with everyone else who's got them on. Ride feel is same as stock, fairly stiff and you'll be feeling bumbs, but ride quality is greatly improved. Less body roll in cornering, better handling. Will be doing a sway bar here soon so hopefully even better handling. Also, getting next week off work so going to bite the bullet and get the konis.
Don't have any other pics right now. Need to find my real camera so I'm not taking these with my low quality cell phone camera where you can barely tell where the tire is and where the shadow is. But I'll post some more pics soon. Note ------- On the labeling of the S Techs, the fronts are labeled backwards. F#####R is actually the front left and F#####L is front right as they are miss marked. Just grab the spring with the same coil direction as you stock springs and you should be good. You can see it in this write up http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspe...g-si-06-a.html. He's putting in the front right in the picture but grabbed the FL spring.

Opinions should I buy the koni yellow shock/struts. I've been quoted 780$ ca$h. I just don't wanna blow the stock stuff a month down the road. How are these shocks/struts.

I suggest not going with the redshifts. I believe they were a sponsor and not anymore due to people having problems with their products. I was reading reviews on the Yellows, and tons of people bought the redshifts and ended up having problems.
Ill suggest to order them from a local shop to us like Nextmod/Option/Speedstar due to the fact in case you have issues you can send it back for warranty. If you order it form online you might not be able to warranty it
