Civic Coilovers

As requested here are some pics of how my ZS TD sits on the "tuning art" coilovers which are marketed for a civic.

This is them as they arived, you need to use the top caps off your old suspension. Dont forget the washer or the rods will poke through your bonnet at the first bump!



The only thing you have to do which requires parts not in the kit is to source some thinner bolts for the bottom of the rear shocks. The forks on the new dampers are wider than the ZS ones but that isnt a problem because they are supplied with the correct diameter spacing washers. They also come with a nut and bolt of the correct length nowever it is too thick to fit through the ZS bush. Therefore I made my own out of threaded rod and a few nylocs. The pic shows standard on the left, "home made" in the middle and fat ones on the right:



Test fit:



After some cleanz:




And a good comparision of before and after, hopefully this clears up the questions people had :
