i will have the dealer to check it out this week, see what they say. I'm pretty sure i got the right shock blown when me and my friend jack up the car and see. However, if it is what would you guys think i should do? change the better sport shocks or still using honda OEM shocks?

If you have to replace them anyways, just buy some new ones...

Are you still under your warranty? If so, how much do you value it??? If neither of these questions still apply get some sport shox.... But if you still have your warranty and need to keep it, stay OEM, at least untill you can go through not takin ur car to the dealers for repairs...

dont take your car to the dealer unless you have a warranty which will cover your suspension. They will automatically rip you off. Around here honda charges $79.99 to look at your car. If you get repairs, they take it off, but then the parts and labor are expensive as hell. Take it to goodyear or something who can look at it for free. Then if you need repairs, get it done there, alot cheaper.

Werd.... Same applies down herre.... But sometimes in order to maintain your warranty, you need to have documented repairs from the dealership... So back to the original point.... If you still have warranty, stay OEM.... Just 4 now....

here, you can just walk into the dealer and say I need this checked, and if you know it is under warranty, you tell them, and all they do is look it up under your VIN. Simple as that. Bad thing is, when you bring your car there, and leave it, it takes them along time before they look at it.

Around here they will check it out for you regardless of warranty. Then they call you with a quote. If it's under warranty, you don't get charged anything, if it's not then they charge accordingly.

If it's like a vibration noise that occurs even when you are going about 25 down a pretty smooth road. Maybe it happens just from the vibration of the car starting up and shutting off. Sounds like it's coming from behind the dash right by the firewall?

well nothing like that. I pretty sure it's coming out from the front right wheel. Sound really bad. However, the dealer will check it tomorrow see what's wrong with it for free, but if the shock is blown then of course i will not let them change it, maybe get a new 4 set for the car. If it is, what would you guys suggest for the suspension? Let you guys know by tomorrow

if its under warranty n they can repair it for free, i say take it and keep it while ur running on aftermarket suspension. if it costs, dont have them repair it. but call them up daily cuz their are idiots out their that do **** on purpose so u can pay for it. let them know asap that u dont wanna pay for factory parts that rip u off.
