can't put cylinders on a 01 civic. the steering arm is on the strut, not the spindle. no strut, no steering.

those cars are hard to lay out with out cutting u pretty much gonna have to make alot of custom shit theres a few treads on this 01-05 civics

mac strut with strut bags. raised the mounts.

juice or build your own strut,,, its pie man

HONDA element with the same strut type as the civic with the steering arm attached to the strut..........

Is that the easy street custom kit on the front of the element?

What about the front lower control arm,did you modify the front bushing angle?

What size wheel and tire on the Element? It looks small.

Are there any pics of the rear suspension from the side? I am trying to see how the rear shock is mounted.

well i been thinkin and ive seen it done before what u think about the mcpherson hydraulic cylinders in front hosed to basic cylinders with custom bag mounts in the trunk to raise it yup guess full custom is the way to go

Dont do the combo set up... You end up with the worst of each type and none of the real perks... If you juice it and run accumulators it will ride great...Just my 2 cents
