Product Description

The Tein Street Basis Z Coilovers (Part # GSH98-8USS2) are engineered for 1996-2000 Honda Civic models with front-wheel drive and 1.6L engines. This entry-level coilover suspension kit offers a height-adjustable setup that significantly improves handling stability and stance compared to stock springs and shocks. The twin-tube damper design provides a comfortable ride quality for daily driving, while the threaded spring seats allow you to lower the vehicle up to approximately 4.7" front and 4.6" rear for a more aggressive look and lower center of gravity.

Constructed with durable materials and a corrosion-resistant powder-coated body, these coilovers hold up well over time and conditions. Damping force is fixed to deliver consistent performance without the need for adjustment, making this kit ideal for Civic owners looking for a straightforward upgrade to improve handling, stance, and ride quality. OEM upper mounts are reused for ease of installation, though they are not included. Professional installation and alignment are recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety after fitment.
