really? i was kinda leaning towards them because they are new... what have you heard about their coilover kits?

i also just found out the skunk 2 coilovers are supposed to fit a 92-00 civic, so would they bolt up to the wagon if i got 89-91 trailing arms for the back?

XSPower-Derek

well after talking with skunk 2... they tell me these coilovers will not bolt up to my wagon

model numbers are 541-05-1210 & 517-05-0720... has anyone been able to make this work or is there no way it would work right?

i havent read anything on there coilovers, but exhausts, cam gears and LCA bushes ive seen fail many times

They will work on your 88 if you get the following 2 items:

89-91 Civic (LCA) for the rears

92-95 Civic or 94-01 Integra front (Forks)

i just bought a set of koni yellows/ ground controls 350 front 380 rear rating with front extended top hats
i had just konis/gc o my last wagon but these are going to kick that sets ass because of the springs and top hats so we'll see where this goes hopefully not into the back yard of some un expecting home owner like the last wagon
