True Coilovers

Jardiniboy · 03-05-2007, 01:11 PM

Do you guys know any brands that sell true coilovers for the 06+ civics? Or did you guys know a company that is gonna make true coilovers?

i dont think anyone is going to spend crazy amounts of money to undo all the engineering honda put into the double wishbone suspension. no companies make an actual coilover for the rear.

(if that is what you are talking about)

By true coilovers I mean like these (Rear)

A true coilover is when the shocks and springs are together. (Like the picture above) Or like the fronts.

The coilovers we have for our civics in the rear, the shocks and springs are separate.

The rear suspension's system is made by having the damper separate from the springs, located on a different perch. I'm assuming that Jardiniboy is asking if a company makes a full on damper-mounted spring, like a traditional coilover.

And, as far as I know, Civics have not have double wishbone since 1999. We use MacPherson struts now in the front, and multi-link in the rear.

And what is better on true coilovers compared to the coilovers out now?
