EF6 front shocks

general lee · #1 11-23-2010, 06:08 PM

I went into a motor factors today to order shocks for the front of my 1.5 and they said that they had a listing for them but they dont make them anymore... Anybody get shocks for an EF6 lately?

All efs are the same CRX, Hatch or Sedan

Try getting Koni shocks they are aftermarket shocks but would be easier to get and realitively cheap

And if you do try the motor factors again all 88-91 Civics and CRXs are the same suspension setup

Sorry I misunderstood your 1st post, I picked it up as "koni's handier" being some sort of adapter or something made by Koni (my bad). It all makes sense now

I was really stuck to get it back on the road as its my daily so i tried another motor factors and ordered a set of shocks. Should be collecting them this morning and fitting them today...

How much are they costing?

Are they monroe or something?

I priced 3 types Monroe €85 Kyb €80 and a third brand (I forget the name i'll edit it in a while) for €85 as well, but Kyb and monroe never stocked them in ireland or so he said... I thought i was onto a winner with the other shocks but they dont fit tried them yesterday...

So I'm looking for prices and a link to buy the koni shocks you were on about. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!
