Skunk2 88-91 Honda Civic/CRX Sport Shocks (Set of 4)

Taking cues from its industry-leading Pro-C and Pro-S II Coilovers, Skunk2's high-performance, factory-replacement Sport Shocks for the '88-'91 Civic and CRX employ many of the same technologies and manufacturing processes as Skunk2's more advanced, full coilover suspension systems. Each Sport Shock's dual-tube design features a hardened, chrome-plated and super-finished shaft and precision valving dialed in by Skunk2's suspension engineers, which results in exceptional durability, reliability, and smooth operation. Sport Shocks offer an integrated approach to suspension tuning at a cost-effective level. Designed to complement Skunk2 Lowering Springs or Adjustable Sleeve Coilovers, Sport Shocks feature shortened shock bodies and reduced shaft strokes to help maintain adequate suspension travel on lowered vehicles for improved performance without sacrificing comfort. When matched with Skunk2's Lowering Springs or Adjustable Sleeve Coilovers, Sport Shocks offer exceptional control, handling, balance, and comfort at an affordable price.
