I would assume the coupe would be the same as the Hatchback as the car is a similar size in dimensions, but the rears would be different as there is less likely a passenger in the rear and less cargo for the coupe.

I'd prefer to wait for the KW as the ST suspension would get destroyed in my wonderful snow infested environment with road salt.

Same reason why I am also waiting for the KW. Not that it snows much in Belgium but they also infest the roads with salt in the winter.
I hope they bring out a Street Comfort coilover set.

Any updates from KW or from other companies who will make struts/shocks for the Civic? 2016-2019 model years and no aftermarket struts yet, plus a small selection of coilovers. I get the feeling the 90's and 00's were far far stronger for modification than current times.

We have decided we will be running the TEIN Coilover setup once it releases.

Didn't realize that Tein had something, at least there is one company other than OEM for shocks/struts

Hi...
tein endropro or koni yellow shocks?
still no news for the koni?
Tein endropro shocks are listed for sedan, si and typer. I couldn't find any information about compatibility with 2017 honda civic hatcback sport (fk7).
Are the tein shocks hatcback listed for the sedan 4 doors suitable?
Is there anyone who can provide precise information or advice?

i have ST x coilovers on hatch and i like them, as far as i know rear spring rate is linear 5kg/mm front is progressive but it feels the same as rear, after 1 winter no rust to be seen, and adjustment
ring can be turned by hand :) so far i have them for like 9 months and zero issues, compared to stock driving is at another level... i am maxed out 50mm front and 53mm rear, i wish rear would go 1cm lower,
otherwise they look solid build and should last :)

they are only height adjustable, just the way i wanted shock/spring rate seems spot on, no bouncing and they are not to stiff, but u feel them in bad roads for sure... i do recommend and would buy again

Awesome to hear they're working well! I can only seem to find the Sport Hatch coilovers on KWs site and nowhere else. Do you have another link or reference to find them? Thanks!

i got them from some tuning parts shop, they ordered for me, and i got them installed at dealership since the car is still under warranty...
here is the process in most of the europe for modifiying car: suspension in this case

- ST coilovers must have TUV (Technischer Überwachungsverein) or Technical Inspection Association in english.... so parts have to be tested so they are good quality and not road hazard...
- ALL parts have to be installed by proper mechanic shop, they give you a paper certificate for proper installation with their sign...
-after installation you need to do alignment by certified shop, and also get papers
-you take papers from coilovers, mechanic and alignment and go to HOMOLOGATION office give them papers...
-you get appointment time, you get your car they drive it to shop lift it up, check installation, ride height, all the numbers on parts must match the papers, then you get new
homologation paper that you have to have it inside your car in case cops pull you over.... if you dont do these steps licence plates are removed from car, car is towed to police parking lot and you got problems.... even worse if you get an accidents and you car will fall in to not street legal category ;)

this process goes for every mod, spoilers, wheelspacers, aftermaker rims, exhausts, wider tires and so on and so on...
cost for appointment at homologation office is around 50euro...
