Tein SS
#8
I recentely bought some used tein HA's and they are somewhat rusty. Word is that teins although excellent products seem to rust regardless of whether they are driven in the winter... I would think you could treat the finish with something in order for them not to rust???

Ed (SiR_Yo) has the Tein SS's on his EP hatch and the ride was phenominal and that was set on medium. They have supposedly corrected the rusting issue now and use a new coating although there is stuff u cna spray on after u adjust the heigh to prevent rust.
IMO I think there an awesome setup and if I had te money I woulda purchased a set.

By ride quality being good.. you mean the car doesn't shake when going over bumps? My car hits the tiniest bump and the car feels like it's gonna rattle apart.
Like will it make the car feel as good as like a Lexus or Benz?
I'm all for ride comfort than performance.

I have Eibach Pro-Kit w/ stock shocks.
The ride quality's so poor.. that some bumps actually throw me out of my seat.
DOn't forget.. my car bounces quite a bit too.. it bounces and won't stop bouncing up and down when it hits some bumps. It's like an old american car.
when you step on the brakes at a light.. the car stops.. front goes down.. goes up and down up and down.. that's like my car.

Your shocks probably are blown. Why not just get a set of koni sport shocks? Go to Group buy forum theres a koni group buy going on.
I guess pro kit won't be too low for winter, unless you want to adjust height every winter and get a 4 wheel alignment.

Konis for the 7th gen civics require to use the stock shock housing. No thanks.
I rather just go with KYB AGX. I actually snow plow most of the streets when it snows. The pro-kit lowers MUCH MUCH more than the posted 1 inch that it says on their site. It lowered more like 1.5" on the front and 2+ on my rear.
My rear tires actually sit exactly in line with top of the wheel well metal.

that's cuz of the mcphearson susp and it's lack of travel.
unless you get short body, long travel shocks you'll never get that ride quality back. I think the Tein SS is a short body shock but check to make sure.
