Koni shocks did the trick on my old Civic (not the same generation as yours), along with disconnecting the sway bars. Left the shocks on full soft with stock springs.
I’ve been running them for 2 weeks so far on my Mk6, the ride reminds me of my dads Porsche: sporty and mildly stiff but not bone rattling. They say it’s equivalent to the Koni Sport (yellow) on the softest setting. And that’s good bc you won’t need anything stiffer and you’ll never have to adjust/test/adjust with them.
I had Bilstein Sports + H&R sports on my coupe for a while and switched to Koni Yellow SA. The ride is better IMO and not as harsh.
I picked the car up yesterday after having the Special Actives installed. AMAZING difference in the way the car rides and drives. Gone is the Toyota Avalon feeling, having been replaced by an Audi-like feeling.
I have Koni oranges paired up with Swift springs. Comfortable enough daily driving and sporty enough for the mountains.
Koni yellow with gc sleeves and springs ~50% stiffer than stock to balance ride comfort and handling. Drives like a rally car without the sway bars, drives like a sports car with them.
La única otra marca que consideraría seriamente sería Sachs, pero solo las cargadas con gas, diseñadas para reemplazar las unidades GTI originales.
I went with Koni Yellows on my TSX and its a daily driver. It does well over bumpy pavement and over railroad tracks.
Installed used OEM AWD Tig springs/shocks Upgraded to Koni Yellow Tig shocks Installed SuperPro control arm bushings/brackets to bring alignment into spec and hopefully help with high speed steering vagueness
The Koni STR.Ts I have started to rust at about one year old. It seems to happen a lot on them according to TDI club.
