Now that you've had them for a few months, how would you say they are holding up? How's the ride quality compare to stock? Do you regret not waiting, saving money, and getting a "better" set up? I'm looking into getting this shock/spring package because I want to lower my car and not dump $500+ on a koni/eibach setup. Thanks!

Hey I actually just got some truhart springs in. I'll be installing them this weekend, but I'll be running koni rears. So i'll tell you once the springs have settled.

hiii, so I installed my Truhart Springs yesterday on my 03 accord they were 2" drop on the back and the front. I did notice a drop but am wondering is it needs time to settle? so far the car drives good pretty smooth ride.

Ok so oi have came back from an 8 1\2 month deployment out to sea...finally got to see and drive my car! ??:) the car still drives fine! But it feels like I'm going to need CV axles for the civic, on the highway steering wheel vibrates and still need to purchase rear camber arms and get it aligned. But still a nice solid ride. If you have any questions just let me know. Car will need settling time with truhart struts and springs.

update my car is now on 2007 acura tsx rims. The rear was finally aligned with a rear camber kit after it sat for 9 months due to me being on deployment. XXR's were are harsh ride very noisy even with the tires I had, also they were rubbing really bad after the rear alignment. the rims and tires were so noisy I thought I had to replace the hub bearings and replace cv axles due vibration as well. my car now rides very quiet and am very much enjoying this set up. it has settled and is sitting lower. not bouncy and is a little stiffer than factory but would recommend for daily driving. as for the mix and matching of other brand springs with truhart struts, I wouldn't know but doesn't hurt to try. any more questions let me know.
