SF Racing Sport Coilovers for 2001-2005 Honda Civic (ES1/EM8/EM2)

SF Racing's Sport Coilovers for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic (ES1/EM8/EM2) are a street-focused kit: they lower the car, let you set the exact ride height and give you damping adjustment while keeping a ride that works every day. This version is listed for FWD models.

2001-2005 Honda Civic setup details

Front and rear are both true coilovers, which keeps ride height adjustment simple and precise at each corner. Damper bodies are 52mm front and 50mm rear. It comes with 7 kg/mm (about 392 lb/in) springs up front and 9.5 kg/mm (about 532 lb/in) at the rear. Damping is 1-way: a single knob with 32 settings changes rebound and compression together, which keeps tuning quick. The front top mounts are aluminum with rubber bushings, with aluminum camber plates with pillowball bushings available as an option. At the rear, the mounts are oem (reuses factory top mount).

Key features

• Monotube damper design for better heat control and fewer leaks
• 32 damping settings on a single knob that sets rebound and compression together
• SAE9254 cold-wound springs
• NOK seals and Italian IP damping oil
• Built-in dust boots and bump stops
• Bolt-on install with no modifications, unless the notes below say otherwise
• Adjustable ride height, roughly 1 to 2.5 inches below factory per SF Racing, while keeping suspension travel
• Separate lower-mount (length) adjustment, so height changes don't preload the spring
• T6-6061 aluminum hardware (top mounts, perches and collars), anodized against corrosion
• Zinc-plated shock bodies for rust protection

Who it suits

A good fit if the car is driven on the street most of the time and you want a lower stance with better body control.
