No don't do that. I say, since you put springs, good aftermarket shocks are a must. You can do that at home too unless you can find a mechanic who can put them in for you cheap.

Of course not, fu*k the civic!! i might drop it... anyway the pulleys are around $180... but the struts and the installation is a lot money... so with $400 i can do that and i'll wait later for the pulleys...

The suspension will give you more satisfaction than the pulley.
