# Dyno and track-tested damping levels, specifically designed and matched to each application and spring rates.

# Fully Independent height & preload adjustments.

# 3 stage anodized coating on shock body provides extra weatherproofing and protection against oxidation.

# Viton sealed pistons protect vital moving parts against friction and wear, even against extremely high temperatures and oil.

# Nitrogen gas-filled lower portion, with free-floating secondary valve offers more flexible low and high speed damping.

# 46mm piston diameter and 54mm shock body provide improved damping capabilities and heat dissipation. 89-91 Civic/90-93 Integra/88-91 CRX: 42mm rear piston/50mm rear shock body

# Two 6061-T6 aluminum alloy collars hold spring and lower mount in place and an additional third collar provides added support to the spring perch.

# 6061-T6 aluminum alloy is used for both top and bottom mounts, coated in a fade and chip-resistant paint.
89-91 Civic/90-93 Integra/88-91 CRX: Uses modified, raised topmounts combined with shortened lower mounts in the fronts to achieve a large range of height adjustment, while retaining shock travel.

# 240 hours of salt spray test on steel shock body shows no signs of fading or rust.

They have been proven to work well. I would personally use them.

PIC are the best coilover in their price range, by far. They are just built better overall. I have a set of selects myself.
Matt Koestner, the tuner at Dent Sport Garage and avid autocrosser and ralleyer, put 90,000+ miles on the prototype set that was on his DC2 before he sold it. They are a very reliable damper, which is harder and harder to find.
On the selects, it's notable that PIC took a lot of time making sure that each of the 8 damper rebound settings were actually a difference in rebound speed. 32 or more way rebound adjustable coilovers marketed today are not so, it's more like 4 settings with these.

The customer service of this company is also second to none. I have personally talked with the owners (Jim and Al Hung) for hours on end about suspension tuning.

i like them, the Select is the only one i would even consider unless you plan on building a drag car then i would do select up front and drag in the rear...
