Still waiting on an aftermarket shocks/struts solution.
I've been lowered on Eibachs since 2017 and I don't know how much longer my stock shocks/struts will hold up.

Hi...
tein endropro or koni yellow shocks? still no news for the koni?
Tein shocks are listed for sedan, si and typer. I couldn't find any information about compatibility with 2017 honda civic hatcback sport (fk7).

I think of Eibach Pro kit or H&R as a bow. or si rear swing bar and springs are also among my options

Is the tein shocks hatcback listed for the sedan 4 doors suitable?
Is there anyone who can provide precise information or advice?

The tein shocks only work on the regular Civics .The si and the hatch sport have the special shocks .

Just found this thread..
2018 sport hatch lowered on eibach sportlines

So we still currently have no options for replacement shocks/struts for lowered vehicle

Is that correct?

Supposedly Tein will have them within the next 2 months. Don't know why it took 3 years.

I'm hoping for a monotube Bilstein...lol
Recently noticed TireRack has a new Bilstein OE shock (~10% firmer) for hatchback. My hopes were dashed when I saw the part number is the same as sedan and coupe. I contacted TireRack customer service to notify them of the application fitment error. Their response was they use whatever application fitment information Bilstein provides.

I think the description that Bilstein provides "10% firmer than stock", is what the hatchback shocks are already tuned at from the manufacturer (since the part numbers are for the sedans and coupes).

I just ordered Swift springs for my si. Debating if i should return it and get those instead.
In the same boat here. Swift says the springs were designed for the stock Si dampers but with 50%+ stiffer rates who knows how long they will last. Might be better to just get it right the first time.
