Bad shocks damage car.

Hello,

I am aware of the recall for our 2k1 shocks, but my ride is lowered and there's no way Honda will sympathise for me.

My quesion is: What will happen to my car physically if I do not get these bad shocks replaced? Any structural damage or is is just a rough ride?

Thanks!

meanirsk is an unknown quantity at this point
rough ride quality yes, but if you are racing or driving fast the backend(usually) is blown first, rides too bouncy, if iti too bouncy you couldn't maintain anything over 55mph, i have eibach sportline springs and a camber kit

i blew my rear struts first then my front, with the back blown it rode ok until about 40-45 mph, after that the backend bounced, i blew my rear struts at the beginning of a 1000 mile rouad trip, my car was all over the road, handling is terrible around 80-90mph, it feeles like it will bounce right off the road,

i just prepurchased my new kyb struts and i am expecting them before spring, i cant wait, STOCK STURTS SUCK A$$
