Truhart Shocks for GK5

I’ve been searching around for shocks to pair with lowering springs. Anybody heard of Truhart or have any experience with them? They look nice and are decently priced.

I use truhart coilovers in my wrx. They get the job done, and they are super affordable. If I didnt already have coilovers, Id def pair up truhart shocks with lowering springs

last time I checked, D2 and TruHart are one and the same. The warranty is pretty darn good, and imo would make the purchase worth it

Would you say comparable to Koni’s? They seem to be the go to for most people on this forum

its hard for me to say, cause I have tried koni orange.... but I have not tried truhart shocks for a honda fit

my guess is ..... the truhart would be just as good as the koni if not better (in terms of performance, I personally believe it would out do the koni)




last time I checked, koni is valved to be soft, and people complain it is not aggressive enough. where as truhart advertises their shocks, to mate up with their springs, which is pretty aggressive at a -1.5 inch drop

That’s pretty reassuring. I think I’m leaning towards pairing the Truhart springs and shocks. I found a really good deal on the set and it would give me the drop I’m looking for. Thanks for your help!!
