HELP!!!
I am looking for new strut inserts for my Civic GT5 car. Does anyone know of any suppliers who still support the early civics?
I am looking for performance pieces preferably single or double adjustable. If anyone replies to this note please provide phone numbers or e-mails for strut suppliers.
THANKS!!

Hey Brian,

Anything can be done for a price. A set of custom built Koni yellows (adjustable) will set you back in the region of $1000US. These can be made to your specs (ie shorter stut body etc).

Then you can go to the 50mm upside down bilstiens for a little more, however these don't seem to be right up to the task.

For a bit more again you can have proflex or drummond race suspension built up (again large diameter shafts but serious race gear. These will last forever (can be rebuilt easily) but will set you back over $2500US. There is no better suspension.

Charles, Do you have any photos of the different setups?

Here is a Drummond 50mm competition strut setup.

The Koni and bilstien usually use the stock casings.

Brian-

Are you the guy that bought Mike Alexander's Civic? E-mail me at my office, and I'll share what I know.
