Hey Guys

The rear suspension on my 97 civic hatch has gone. Any ideas on good replacements?

Funds are pretty tight so I can't send the car project in one hit :(

Looking at around the 500 bucks mark for the rears.

Will that supply me with the goods? I rang a suspension place up here but they just asked what model commadore I had.

Rear bars - Just how good are they and would you recommend one?

Thanks

Scott

What did you do, blow the dampers? What do you mean it's shot?

Yes a rear sway bar on a FF is "all that" and more.

Hi Scott,
I too am not quite sure what you mean by "gone suspension", but I assume you are refering to worn shock absorbers, which makes sense as they are wearing components. You would probably be experiencing some 'floating' over bumps especially on freeways / highways.
If that is correct, then you should obviously be replacing your shocks, and do this as a front and rear set.
Scott, this is not a commercial forum and we do not talk pricing, but you will probably find that you may need to budget more for quality shocks.
Please refer to our website, look under "your car" where you will find a fact sheet for Honda Civic EK.
