Ugh....my computer crashed...so definitely need to get another one soon....
need to drill out a bolt.. 75% done with suspension.
fucking stupid seized bolts.. taken me 2 days already to install springs.
and cost me 58 dollars for a new strut.
Uh...any reason why you didn't buy a used set of 4 struts/springs for under $60?
wtf?
that's not fucking possible. i'm already pissed enough. dont be a smartass.
Last time I checked, we had shocks. Not struts....but sucks to hear your situation, billy.
Which bolt is seized???
My 93 's got struts. and youre right.. those seized bolts are a bitch. I had to replace both lower crontrol arms because of em.
b.t.w...I know youre wondering.. lol I drive the black 4 door you seen at the car wash beside rite-aid. Nice to meet you guys
Did someone mention getting whooped in street fighter?? Are you kidding?! lol Ive been playing that since '92. yep.. 1992 lol
you were wrong.
i have struts.
EMClmn, you can't have both, dude.
Since when did Honda design MacPherson Struts for ya'lls ride???
Like 90% of Honda's, we have upper and lower control arms, thus having shocks.
Does your suspension look like this??
upper and lower control arms
Or like this??
MacPherson Struts
Honda didn't design cars with struts until the the 2001 and newer Civics along with the RSX.
not trying to be a dick. I'm just sayin'....

My car has STRUTS.
I have McPhereson Sensatrac STRUTS from O'reilly's. I bought them and even the reciept says STRUT on it.
What I bought:
Honda doesnt use shocks..
Shocks are seperate from the spring, struts are combined with the coil making them one.
I'm not being a dick and i love you David!
Oh, Suspension is done after 3 days, drilled out bolt, new strut, new air hammer and a bunch of chiseling and ezouts for siezed bolts.
and thanks to my EF for letting me borrow a LCA bolt!
We'll you shouldn't...control arms are superior in steering geometry. Control arms will always keep the tire/wheels more perpendicular to the road than struts. You ever see some cars turn and the wheels tilt like crazy? Those are struts.
An easy to see if you have shocks or struts (for the untrained eye), if you turn your wheel and your setup turns with the wheel, you have struts. If not, you have control arms.
All Honda's, until recently, are all control arms, alas, shocks. End of story...
Humpries, when you turn the wheel...your "struts" will not turn. You have shocks dude. Monroes suck...return them, go to carquest and get some kybs atleast.
nah.. im good.
the part is called a strut.
To end it all:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_wishbone_suspension
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civic_Si#2002-2005
But if you would rather refer to your suspension setup to something that is inferior...you are more than welcomed to.
thats cool.
just the box which my new strut came in, says strut.
same with autodata.
One more and we're done
HondaTuning even wrote an article about Struts Vs. Shocks:

I forgot who made fun of me for saying, "I'm selling my shock tower bar" but they're
okay.. since you did more research and everything, i'll let you be right. I'm just saying the part at the store was under "strut" and that's what i was under the impression it being..
ON ANOTHER NOTE!!!
SICK ASS LOW Si!
im uploading pics now!
Hey guys. Hadn't posted in a while. Saw Homer Simpson and LaotianAsn4 at QT this weekend but they didn't come over and say hey, lol. As for meets, my friend with the silver svt focus said he talked to the manager at food depot and he said he didn't mind us hanging out as long as we don't do stupid shit. I'll see if he can get the managers number and some sort of proof that we can hang out there. If not, my mom works at the publix in thomas crossroads and i can see if she can do anything for us.
Oh that was you? I felt awkward with all the eyes looking at us.
By any chance do I pass you on Hwy16 at like 730 in the morning sometimes??
Looking good billy! throw them rims on!
Attempted some HDR today for the first time. Its pretty fun!
It has watermarks on them because its just a trail. I ain't got no cash to buy the full program...

It may technically be a shock, but it looks like a strut to me... "dick" lol just kidding
Hey ya'll. I haven't been around lately. Still meeting up at Food Depot on Friday nights?
I don't think so. I'm usually on the HWY 34 bypass at that time. And i saw your other post about Allspeed. I meant to ask if it was some of you guys coming over there today. I noticed it said S2000, 350z and del sol on their calender when i was over there last wednesday getting mine dynoed. Why didn't you guys get dynoed today?Oh that was you? I felt awkward with all the eyes looking at us.
