• Suspension performance loss that can affect electronic safety system operation

Installation Notes

Fits 2006-2011 Honda Civic, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mounting style and dimensions before installation: compressed length 17.95, extended length 21.93, stroke length 3.98, lower mount type E2(12.4X40), upper mount type S1.
