  • Civic Coilovers

    I just bought some Civic Coilovers for my Festiva. I want to know if I can use regular Festiva struts for this or do I have to get high performance struts? Thanks for the help

    I would buy new ones,I have new ones and the car wont stay on the road so old wore ones would be bad.

      the civic coil overs are so overly stiff, no convential festiva strut is going to make a difference. I have Gr2's and they don't seem to make a difference.

                You do realize that for the cost of those and shocks you could had Tein's?

                3kg front 2kg rear rates but you could run up to 5kg front and 4kg rear and still stay within the dampers field.

                Thanks :wink:

                  Yes but I am now actually going to go with custom valved struts and 400in/lb front 350in/lb rear next AutoX season... 5K is only ~280 in/lb... Not stiff enough for me. -Kyle
