I decided to get the fender brace to reduce the flex between struts and the A-pillar area. By comparing the few generations of the CIVIC, you can see that the A-Pillar moves closer to over the wheels over the years. I have drawn a straight line down the A-pillar to illustrate the difference. So gues...

Fitted to the rear. Settings are at 6 right now.

Here is a vid of the shock being scraped. This was the right side, it is still good as can shown by the compression and rebound.

When I was changing the LCA on Sat i noticed the left rear shock had oil leaking. A good buddy of mine Kern had 2 KYB AGX used at his place, after sweet talking him i cut a deal and now there are on the civic. Feels better than the worn out tokico. Here are some pics of the install. Leaking strut: I...
