this is the sleeve type coilovers that do not come with struts. this is no different than say ground control coilovers. it is very common and for those who want heigh adjustability but are on a smaller budget..those usually have pretty bouncy rides from personal experiences in people's cars.

i wonder if those helper springs actually make a big difference in terms of ride quality, performance.(i didn't have those on my civic)

We have decided to offer the box in a Polished finish to start. They are being polished as I type, and will be available for shipment by June 27.
The coilover kit is meant to be a sleeve and coil setup, using factory style struts. We may offer a full kit in the future, but that's just an idea so far.

I did not take photos with the covers on, but in the following photos you can see clearly that the bar sits below the ledge that the rear trunk floor panel rests on. It can also be see that no interior modifications have been made, and that the rear seats are still in their original mounting positions. The prototype has been sent out for production, but when I get it back I will be more than happy to take photos of it installed with all the factory panels in place to show this point.

Yes, those are the rear two bolts of the upper strut mount. There is a third bolt under the carpet next to the seats. Please research the situation before you make a claim. Consumers are entitled to factual information, not speculations.

My intention was not to "snipe" at you, or to offend you. Being on so many forums, I see it is all too common for people to make comments on a product in which they have no direct experience with. If you have the item in question, and did in fact need to make the said modifications for it to work, then by all means offer you constructive criticism for all to hear. I apologize if you felt I was rude in my post, but I have to say I felt your original comment about our product was just as rude. I'm not going to continue with this any further than this post, I want to keep this thread a purely informative one, not one filled with off-topic rants. So again I apologize if you're offended by my earlier comment, and wish you a good day.

look i assumed (like every other car i've worked on) that the strut brace would go shoulder level at the rear seat. i've NEVER seen something with struts so low that its almost like a top-over rear sway bar instead of a strut bar.
i didn't mean to mislead people but in the setup i was imagining, you would have to trim off plastic or cut some metal (as my 3 previous vehicles). obviously that was cleared up when you, the vendor, said otherwise. you just could have done it without attitude.

I saw the prototype, and NO TRIMMING is necessary.
(Ray, I got your email. My AOL is acting up. I'll send you a PM.)
