Front Strut Shock Assembly w/Coil Spring for Honda Civic Sedan

In this review the reviewer examines the Front Strut Shock Assembly w/Coil Spring kit intended specifically for the Honda Civic sedan 2006-2011 and Acura CSX 2006-2011. The bottom line: this is a straightforward, vehicle-specific replacement for owners who want a direct-fit front strut solution without modifications. The kit includes a left and right front strut with coil springs and is designed to replace part numbers 172286 and 172287, which makes it a useful option for anyone seeking a complete front suspension refresh with a claim of tested quality and a 12-month warranty.

Key Features

• Vehicle compatibility: Built to fit Honda Civic Sedan 2006-2011 and Acura CSX 2006-2011 so buyers can expect correct fitment for the listed models and trims.
• Complete front kit: Ships with one front left and one front right strut shock assembly with coil springs, providing both sides needed for a matched repair job.
• Direct replacement: Designed to replace part numbers 172286 and 172287, reducing guesswork when matching to the original components.
• Easy installation: Assembled to the vehicle specifications so most installers report no cutting or modification required during replacement.
• Quality assurance: Each kit is tested before shipping and comes with a 12-month warranty, offering reassurance against early defects.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Honda Civic sedan owners from the 2006 through 2011 model years and Acura CSX owners within the same years who need a full front strut replacement and prefer a matched left/right set. DIY mechanics with basic suspension experience or independent shops will appreciate the complete assemblies that reduce time spent on spring compression and parts matching.

It is not intended for hatchback Civic models or other vehicle lines outside the listed years, nor for buyers who need only a single side or a different part number than 172286/172287. Buyers who require OEM-branded parts or factory remanufactured units should look elsewhere.

• Complete left and right assemblies simplify installation and ensure matched ride characteristics.
