    Re: Honda Coilovers for 8th Gen

    Sounds like someone was talking out of his ass. The suspension on the 8g and any Honda is way too different to even make that assumption.

    The last I checked coilover sleeves are made universal maybe that's what he was talking about. However, The 8th gen civics uses similar setup (in design terms) like the 8g Galant (F: MacPhearson R: Muilti-link). Just because it's setup similar doesn't means they are closely identical. I agree with Oak that the mechanic was talking up his ass......

    Even if they are using the same coilovers on both cars the weight on those cars are huge difference. I won't use it on my 8G.
