Suspension More Comfortable than Stock
hi, I was just wondering what suspension that will make my 2001 civic sedan EX more comfortable (ride quality) than stock.
Please let me know as soon as possible, I am looking into buying suspension in order ONLY to improve the ride quality of my car (kinda like the luxury feeling)
Thanks,
Bobby S.

Rep Power: 356 one of the big reasons the civic rides like it does is because of its weight (its relitivly light). add weight and the car will ride smoother.

Rep Power: 0 I think my tokicos are more comfy than stock, but a hell of a lot stiffer, haha. You wont get that, unless you put some springs on your car, keep your struts, blow them and youll have a nice bounce. haha.

Rep Power: 280 In its stock form it rides pretty smooth in the low speeds over bumps and cracks. The seats have the right cushoning and support. I feel the bumps are felt more when going over them at higher speeds. The worst ride quality I felt was in a JEEP Liberty, Ultra stiff and the truck would just dive into the bump and really bad seats for such a stiff vehicle. After driving that my civic felt like a cadilac. The newer civics come with 195 60 15s I think, the earlier ones like mine come with 185 65 15s.

Rep Power: 0 well.. i have to hand it to ya man... you're pretty much attempting the opposite of everyone on this board
yeah, i would recommend air bags.. probably the only way to get a softer ride (besides having a custom spring made)
