Product Description

The Tein Street Advance Z Coilovers (Part # GSH98-9USS2) are a premium suspension upgrade designed for 1996-2000 Honda Civic models with front-wheel drive and 1.6L engines. This coilover kit offers a wide range of ride height adjustment along with 16-stage damping control, giving drivers the flexibility to fine-tune ride quality from comfortable daily driving to firmer handling for spirited roads. The twin-tube damper design balances responsiveness with compliance, while the durable powder-coated finish helps protect against corrosion over time.

With adjustable spring seats, you can achieve an aggressive lowered stance - typically around a 1.9" to 5.1" drop in front and about a 1.2" to 4.1" drop in rear - enhancing aesthetics and lowering the center of gravity. The kit reuses your vehicle's OEM upper mounts (not included), and it's compatible with Tein's optional EDFC in-car electronic damping controller for on-the-fly adjustments. Professional installation and alignment are recommended to maximize handling performance and ensure safe operation after installation.
