I have a lowered 2000 civic and i actually want to convert the suspension back to stock. Hard to drive the car around in NYC snow. What do you guys suggest for shocks and springs? I was looking at KYB GR2 shocks for roughly 200 for a set of 4 and as for springs, i dont know where to begin to look. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

you could either get stock replacement springs (check places like www.autopartswarehouse.com and www.summitracing.com) or you could get some coilovers. With coilovers, you can have the car lowered in the spring/summer/fall, then raise it back up when winter comes. Ground Controls go for a little over $300 shipped. I have them and absolutely love 'em. And KYB makes pretty good shocks... I have KYB AGX's (adjustable) and love them.

 

I cant seem to find stock springs for my 2000 civic. All i come across are parts to lower the car. Please post some links or perhaps recommend some models or brands.

 

KYB GR2s are fine and it'd probably be cheaper to just buy Tein H-Techs. it'll lower the car a little bit from stock, but thats it, just a tiny bit. the ride will still be comfortable.

 

any junk yard should have a multitude of stock springs, or keep alert for somebody lowering their ride and ask for the old springs!!!

 

hmm.. I'm surprised.. usually places like autopartswarehouse have pretty much any replacement part you need... I'd say try honda dealers (check online).... but prepared to be raped with the prices.
