Hey guys, I have a question concerning spings and shocks on the Si. I see in alot of your sig's you are listing your spring but not shock, are you guys running stock shocks? I was wondering about that because I know on my BMW when I got H&R sports, I had to change the shocks to Bilstein Sports, if not there was no way I could drive the thing. I am sorry about this queer question, but I am getting a hatch soon and when I get it the first thing I am going to do it suspension and a drop. Also, I saw these coilovers, from showstoppers, Skunk 2 coilovers, now I would need new shocks with these correct? I am new to this world of custominzing as my e30 in completely different, thank-you again, you guys know your s**t, so that is why I ask, all the best.

There aren't any aftermarket struts/shocks out for the EP yet. Thats why you don't see anyone having them. Word is that there will be some available by the end of the summer.

There is no actually "bolt-on" aftermarket shocks yet, the only thing available right now is to modify Konis, that is besides coil-overs of course.
That's why mine still has the "4wd" look.:D

Well Spoon claims to have ones for the EP3 (Type-r) that are a different partnumber than the ones for the integra DC5-R (RSX in the US). AFAIK the only difference between the type-r and the US SI on the struts is the size of the housing which will not matter if you are replacing the entire strut and not just doing an insert
