Best Shock absorbers for Honda Civic

I also felt that swapping to Koni shocks in the rear made the car feel better to drive -- the stock rear shocks didn't have much low speed rebound, so the trunk would feel like it was floating if I went over crests. The Konis fixed that.

i'm currently running Koni oranges (STR.T) with Tein H-techs which are a very mild upgrade spring. they'll feel like stock with a bit more control and have a lifetime warranty. i'm told they feel like a Koni yellow on full soft, and they don't involve cutting - direct replacement. i have almost 30k miles on mine and they groan sometimes in the cold but are otherwise holding up just fine.

Definitely recommend the koni yellows. They’re adjustable but like mentioned before you have to cut the oem front strut to install them. They’re actually an insert but the rears are a simple drop in. Forgot to add they also come with a lifetime warranty as long as you keep the receipt. Had mine for 6 years and one of the drivers blew out and I sent it back and they replaced it free of charge just had to pay to ship it to them but return shipping was free.

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.

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.

I put KYB Excel-G on my 7th gen civic, they seem to ride fine, but for some reason the rear of the car sits an inch or two higher than the original stock suspension.

I initially replaced my front structs and rear shocks with KYB Excel-G parts as they “seemed” to have good ratings and reviews as “good” shocks. The ride quality is now more “rough” and “bouncy” since apparently these shocks/struts are more stiff.
