I may be able to find a pic on my old phone, too dark to go out now. To be honest I put them on for looks not performance but it seems to handle fine. I replaced motobuild spring set up with them and if anything I would say the civic coilovers are a slightly comfier ride. Been too long since the standard springs were on for me to make a fair comparison.

Apparently the TD and v6 are similar weights as the L series has an iron block. From the factory they use an identical suspension set up which can be confirmed via part numbers on Rimmers.

So in answer to your question, they look fantastic (like a zed sat on avos or gaz), it still handles fine, it costs a fraction of the price and if they leak after a year they are still under warranty so unless you drive on the limit all the time and are doing track work they will be fine I would have thought.

If you want the best though I guess you will have to spend more money.

Yeah mate, the best is a bit more than I can afford to spend at the minute.
Will be doing the occasional track day. I have a set of eibach springs I bought from a guy on here a while back but never got round to fitting

Point well made! I forget sometimes how little the cars are worth these days :-(
