Re: i need help....asap

how about adjust the ones you have? i thought you can soften the damping rate, and also play with the height. those are fully adjustable.

Re: i need help....asap

They are fully adjustable. Slow down/soften up the rebound on them, they will ride more like the stock suspension, you dont need to have it hella stiff so everytime you hit a crack in the road your cd skips.

Re: i need help....asap

this is the main website http://www.progressauto.com/ but you can get them cheaper elsewhere like www.corsportusa.com search around. you can also have the damper and spring rate customized to your liking.

Re: i need help....asap

also make sure you are running the honda recommended 30psi in the tires. even a few psi higher will make the ride very stiff. i used to run 35 but it just rides too rough. at 30 its perfect and almost feels like the oem suspension again.

Re: i need help....asap

I would go by what the tire says, and at least inflate to the min. You dont wanna be on 30psi, hit a pot hole and ruin a rim.

Re: i need help....asap

yeah i meant stock tire size. if you have thinner tires, thats also contributing to the poor ride quality.
