Hi all,

Currently my car is on Low King Springs on my 02 Civic VI. They've probably been on for about 50k kms now, as I am 3rd owner I don't know when they were actually installed. I was wondering how long can my OEM shocks stand the lowered springs for? as I'm looking to change over to Koni Sports eventually but don't want to until my OEM ones perish. How will I know when my OEMs are no longer functioning as they should ie. sounds? bouncy? more body roll? So I know when they should be replaced. Any feedback would be great guys.

Cheers!

If you are planning to go Koni eventually, change them now so that your OEMs are still alright and can be sold off for some money or you can keep them in case you sell the car in the future.
