2005 HP struts

Strengths:
Hmmm?

Weaknesses:
Shoddy product. Terrible customer service

Summary:
Greatest disappointment of any aftermarket component I have ever used on my car.

Had both rear struts fail while driving at interstate speed. Made for a very pulse pounding and dangerous ride back home.

Company and distrubutor (RMS) gave me a ton of grief in order to get them to honor the warranty. Whole process took over seven weeks and cost me what I was refunded in phone calls and shipping. I recommend you not use eihter company, I know I never will again.

Strengths:
Stiff as heck

Weaknesses:
Maybe too stiff & unadjustable

Summary:
Good shock, performs tight with skunk2 coilovers. Might be too stiff for the stupid bumps in the road though. I've had a lot of impact breaks as well but that is the price for PERFORMANCE.

Strengths:
It feels like stock, real smooth. The cornering improves dramatically...and the drop is just perfect.

Weaknesses:
None so far...

Summary:
I just got the Tokico HP strut/springs kit installed. I noticed a significant difference over stock. Yes it gets bumpy on rough roads, but what do you expect? If you're careful and whatnot, there shouldn't be a problem. But the overall ride is nice and smooth, feels like stock. Cornering is flawless with no body roll. Very nice setup in my opinion, definitely a good investment thus far. The drop was just right, not too low, nor too high (-1.5 to 1.75"). My civic just looks real clean with it.
