Is there an Update on Shock Options for the EP

[slc71]

Has an company came out with a shock option for the EP other than Koni?

Mugen, Tein basic, JIC, a couple now, all about the same price 899 - 1500 range.

Those are coilover's right? I was looking for replacement shocks for use with sport springs.

How about shocks instead of coilovers? I have heard rumors that Tokico is coming out with something in the spring, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Ehh Tokico said that crap year ago. Probably wont come out with new shocks any soon.
Koni yellow would be the only choice. Look into Hayame fullcoilovers, Relatively cheaper than others. About $650.

Yea, but they just say 2001 - 2003 Honda Civic, will that be for the SI?

(edit)

I just called Tokico and they said spring 2004 for the Si. I still don't really believe it though.

That's pretty cool, tokico's shocks are all under 100 bucks.

How easy is it going to be to replace the shocks? If you are installing springs at the same time, is it going to add alot of time to the install?

Most spring installs are taking about an hour to 3 hours.

Shouldnt be too hard install. Tokico should come out with full replacement shocks. Unlike koni yellow.. Price is cheaper than Koni. Yea less than $100.. each.

Well, It sounds like a case of beer job to me.
Should be a good weekend.

:D

I emailed the folks at KYB - I received a very prompt response telling me they will have shocks for the EP3 out in February 2004. I HOPE this is true, I had the AGX shocks on my 94 EX and they were awesome.

FYI, I called Bilstein America about a month ago to find out if they were going to do shocks for the EP3. The guy told me that they were not going to make struts just coilover setups, adjustable and non-adjust.
