Yea I had yellows on my Volvo. There are nice but they are like 300$ more than the oranges..... So no on selling the strut/spring combo. I have researched what to put on my civic for all to long... The teins had like an inch and a half drop correct. It's not to low???

The lowering is hardly noticable. Most people think it is stock ride hieght. The yellows are very nice, but do you need something like that on a eco modded daily driver? The orange fit my needs very well. I buy all my shocks through koni. They are great products with a Lifetime warranty. And the best part is their north American headquarters within 30 minutes from my house.

Do you know how many true miles are on the engine and the transmission respectively? Have you ever done a compression test on the motor?

I would guess about 200k on the engine and trans now. Never done a compression test on it but I am still driving it without any issues. Might keep it through the winter and sell at tax return time. I might be nice to have another front wheel drive car for the snow.

Hello. Curious if this car is still available for sale...? I was looking for either a CX or HX Civic from this gen (96-00), but ultimately I was hoping to get a CX but swap in the more efficient HX parts (motor & wheels mainly), and this looks to be about that.
