Video Description:Keeping all four tires on the ground is important for safety, and in this video we show you how to tell when your shocks or struts are no longer doing their jobs. Highlights include:
*At 0:14, we show you the quick and easy way to tell if your shocks or struts are blown.
*At 0:35, we show you other indications of worn-out shocks and struts. -
Video Description:In this video, we explain the fundamental differences between shocks and struts by showing you how each of them work.
*At 0:18, we explain what shocks and struts actually do.
*At 0:28, we give you an overview of strut style suspensions.
*At 0:58, we explain the placement and function of shocks compared to struts.
Fits On:
2012 - 2013 Honda Civic (DX, EX, EX-L, HF, Hybrid, Hybrid-L, LX, Natural Gas, Si, Touring)
Description:
Skunk2's high-performance, factory-replacement Sport Shocks for the 2012-2013 Civic use most of the same technologies and manufacturing processes found in Skunk2's more advanced, Pro-C and Pro-S II Coilover suspension systems, for those looking for a fixed ride-height.
Each Sport Shock's dual-tube design features a hardened, chrome-plated, super-finished shaft and precision valving that has been dialed in by Skunk2's suspension engineers. This design results in exceptional durability and reliability with smooth operation. Sport Shocks offer an integrated approach to suspension tuning at a cost-effective level and designed to compliment Skunk2 Lowering Springs or Adjustable Sleeve Coilovers.
FEATURES:
Shortened Shock Body
Super-Finished Hard Chrome Shaft
Reduced Shaft Stroke for Full Travel on Lowered Vehicles
Fixed Dampening for Skunk2 Lowering Springs
Polyurethane Top Hat Bushing for Improved Shock Feedback
Combine with Skunk2 Lowering Springs for maximum handling performance.
Requires re-use of OEM components.

Q: Do shocks come in sets of 4?
A: Struts and shocks are sold individually on our website, but purchasing should always be done in pairs at the minimum (one pair for the front, one for the rear). Most people replace all four shocks/struts at once.
Q: What are struts and shocks? Why buy them?
A: Shock absorbers (shocks) are a device that controls spring motion through dampening. A shock absorber slows down and reduces the vibrations created by imperfections in the roadway. A strut is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring that does the same job of dampening. Whether your car uses a strut or shock depends on the factory setup, but both do the same thing and are synonymous in terms of their function. The product listings on our website indicate exactly what is available for your car. Aftermarket struts or shocks are an especially good purchase when lowering your car because they are specially made for optimal performance based on ride height, and can handle the extra stress your suspension will throw at them. Your factory struts or shocks will be out of their "comfort zone" if you lower your car, which causes them to wear down faster and ultimately fail. You can definitely lower your car without replacing the struts/shocks, but they will wear down quickly, and you ride quality will suffer.
Q: Is there any difference between struts and shocks?
A: Struts/shocks both have the same job by dampening the kinetic energy of suspension travel. Struts perform two jobs: They provide a dampening function like shock absorbers, and they provide structural support for the vehicles suspension. That means that the struts deliver a bit more than shock absorbers, which don't support vehicle weight but control the speed at which weight is transferred in a vehicle. Either way, your options are limited to what is available for your car.
Q: How do you install shocks/struts?
A: Shocks are easier to install because there are only two bolts holding in each shock absorber. Struts are a bit more difficult because there is a compressed spring that needs to be removed first. Once the spring has been removed the new strut can be installed with the OEM or aftermarket spring re-installed.
