    Yes, this is correct. jspec has Skunk2 Pro S coilovers & vlixcool has Skunk2 shock/spring combo. Skunk2 is US brand & both fit on our civic.

    Also I got BC racing - Type BR Spec coilovers & that shares same part number as US counterpart.

    Just make sure is not for Si, but the reseller should be able to confirm for you that it fits our AUDM civic.

    I bought a set of Tein S-Tech springs from a friend which I was planning to pair with my stock shocks, but I have to drop this plan as I received the service report from Austral Honda Brisbane on 60k service mention that they suspect that my left rear shock has a leak.

    I have been looking for a while for a replacement shockies and I was surprised finding that only Pedders and OEM Honda have the replacement shocks for our FD in Australia. Well, KYB has the Excel / GR-2 but they are not in stock.

    What I want is to lower my FD by 1.5"-2" for the look, less body roll and better handling but I still want to get a comfort ride (due to my age)..

    Does anyone have an experience using Tein S-Tech springs with Tokico HP shocks or KYB Excel/GR-2 or Koni yellow or any OEM replacement shocks?

    Do you guys reckon the skunk2 sport shocks + springs set is a good option for what I want ((lowered ride + better handling) - rough ride)?
    I read a few mixed reviews on the skunk2 sport shocks spring set, that's why I want to know if anyone has experience it first hand.

    Thank you so much you guys have been very helpful...

    maybe sell your springs and grab a set of coilovers for 1 - 1.5k and you will be muchos happier.

    I'm running pedders lowering springs and with stock shocks it's much better, but there's still much to be desired.

    It's better and actually cheaper to do something right the first time, than to it half way and then decide later that you wanna do it properly..

    Thanks Duffy, I might do that..
    Any takers for my Tein S Tech..? 
    Any recommendation on which coilovers set I should get?
    Is skunk2 sport shocks set + skunk2 springs pretty decent for what I want?

    I found this Tein Basic coilovers after googling
    Part Brand: Tein
    Manufacturer Part Number: DSB14-LUAS2

    http://www.tein.com/products/basic_price_list.html

    I have searched Tein's US website and this basic coilovers set is designed to fit all civic 06+ including
    Si..
    Does this mean it fits our FD as well?
    I'm confused...

    i found some H&R Coilovers on the tirerack website when i was searching for wheels and tires.

    H&R are german made too, so they should be good, theyre around 950USD + 150USD Shipping which is the cheapest ive seen so far, and im sure they're not going to be shit quality like the other korean brands etc..

    I'm having my 70k service next week.. I will ask the technician to double check the shocks if they are need replacing..
    I always have my car serviced by Austral Honda Newstead, can anyone recommend other place in Brisbane for routine service that is considerably cheaper compared to authorised dealer but still getting a good and honest service?
