It will be much better if the seller can also help you install less troublesome. Absorber installation typically around 300-400 excluding alignment.

Beware of Shopee fake parts. Honda got a lot of fake.

Why not give the shop that install some profit and buy from them. If any issue, cannot blame part or install problem.
If the shop is good, they will also look at the bushing, mounting, those rubbers and see any crack.

Drive Civic please dont be so cheapskate lah...

Easier go to Hingan Jalan Pudu and buy part straight. Original

let workshop do all... if need warranty claim workshop cover all...

I am planning to do that and yes, I'm a bit skeptical with shopee seller to be honest.

And like you said, allowing the shop to do from A - Z provide much better coverage in terms of warranty.

Honda absorbers better go out and modify, most newer Honda absorbers even original got 1 nylon/plastic bush in it.
Once reach it lifespan or fetch heavy stuff it will shattered and jam the valve in it.

Modifying the inner valve system for Honda absorbers will last longer compare to original. This will also depends on the absorber repairer skill/workmanship.

I just noticed that Honda original absorber is using KYB brand

No matter what normal replacement absorbers for original Honda will got the plastic bush/nylon bush built in, it is like factory requirement from Honda.
Unless you go for those aftermarket performance type absorbers only the inner valve design is different. This is what i knew when i took my absorbers to go service and saw the absorber repairer open up ori Honda absorbers and pour out all those dirty oil + plastic debris out.. Now a lot of them just took other suspension valve system and modify in, will last longer and serviceable.

Changed the rear absorber to KYB brand and woallah, no more scary noise on uneven roads. so queite haha

You can get genuine Honda parts out of Honda sc. location?

Yes, the shop I went told me is the same brand part at Honda just that without 'Honda' proprietary wording.

oh..you have changed. okay. cool. good for you.

Thanks

Now time to inspect the front part haha

Great to hear that they are comfortable.

1. How much does it cost for the 2 rear KYB absorbers? Labor charges?
2. Where did u get them fixed?
3. Can share pics of the boxes? How to know if it's original oem.

Using a CFC ketam too (2020).

Cost: RM 1100 including labor
Location: at tyre workshop nea my house, alam damai cheras
Proof: sorry, I didn't snap any picture but I was present when they replacing it

U want comfort and some slight sportiness consider blistien b4 and use your existing spring.

Else consider b8 with eibach springs. Comfort and more sporty
