Standard Suspension struts.

[hondamad2204]

Ive changed them already mate.
Its literally just struts that are old and in need of replacement.

Ive changed, bushes, springs, drop links, (will change again too), top mounts, springs again, a full geo setup and now starting to knock rather too much for my liking. Haha. I want to change them anyway out of principle really, just to future proof myself some more. I like doing that. Haha

Sorry, was meant to be a question on where did you get top mounts and price?

From what I've read there isn't much option for shocks

I don't want to go down or need coilovers

Otherwise I know someone who's gone down the ep3 bilstein route

Was going to say EP3 Bilsteins may be a good shout. I got a price for OEM shocks before and nearly fell off my chair. Might still have it with part numbers if you need it

 

[p1tse]

Bilsteins have several versions, b4 ( oem like), b6 , b8 etc

Then have to add in cost of track rod ends for front from ep3.

If only nenguns prices were uk shipped, but on website it's still £250 a pair and would imagine near £100 for courier, duty, tax; so all adds up
Plus ontop £100+ top mounts.

Oh sorry, I just got mine from Honda mate, but yeah I know its going to be pricy but like yourself its something that will last another 140k so I don't mind shelling out. I don't want coilovers either.

 

[p1tse]

The benefits I see from bilsteins b8 is that they are serviceable items
Although not sure which is better that or oem.

I have no complaints to oem, but it's the cost factor which I imagine from most routes to your door will be just shy of £500 for 2 shocks is a lot of money

Thanks, but not for me at the moment

Ive had bilstein b4s on a pervious car and they weren't the best imo i have also had b8's on civic type r.. and they were good but i would not say they were better than the oems on dc5 (both using abp-30mm eibachs)

Thanks for the insight and feedback
I didn't expect b4 would be better than oem dc5 but b8s i thought would be more comparable

I'll be fitting my coilovers within the next week or so, so could always sell mine if you get stuck

Thanks for the offer.
What mileage, condition is all yours in?
It's more a preventative whilst top mounts need doing
