My suspension is so wack, anyone wanna help?

My front suspension really feels like its hitting the bump stops when i go over a big bump at fast speeds and overall just feels messed up. Anyone in the jane/lawrence area want to take me for a spin in their car and then in mine, preferely with aftermarket suspension so I can feel the diff and troubleshoot what it is. Email me at tdbui83 @ gmail.com if you can help out. thanks.

Your suspension seems decent enough to handle the bumps, hummm how long have you had them for and are they installed professionally? just wondering cuz it should be riding pretty nice.

Hey spoon racing, i work in the kitchen for "ONLYONE"

i got tokico blues with neuspeed sport rolling on 18's. it's very close to a 2" drop all around as my springs have had about 2 years to settle. it's a little bumpy at times but overall it's good. i also run 17's (215/45/17) and they make the ride feel ALMOST stock....i just drove a stock '03 civic a few days ago but i can still feel the difference between that car and mine. you can never get that smooth cushy ride that only a raised suspension can deliver.

btw: it's not a good idea to be going over large bumps fast when your car is lowered. try to avoid them the best you can, regardless you will still hit some every now and then and that vibration that will make your cd player skip and possibly bounce you up out of your seat is normal. it sometimes sounds like you might have broken something or something fell off, that's probably just some dried mud or pebbles in the under fenders falling off.

i have the same set up.... i hear it quite often to begin with, whenever i go over bumps... but i just got used to it.... of course.. it will make your stomach feel sick when you hear it.

i dont make a big deal out of it... unless i "should" be worried about it.
