Re: suspension upgrade

what do you mean by improve the ride quality are your struts blown is it really bouncy. because if you just want a smoother ride nothing is going to be better then stock. if you have larger wheels that would cause a harder ride because of reduced sidewall. the stock wheel size reduces alot of impacts.

Re: suspension upgrade

tokico blues would greatly improve your ride quality. they are built much better than stock struts and pair very very well with stock springs (if you dont want to lower your car)

Re: suspension upgrade

I have an 11' GX
22K miles

I'm looking at new tires and rims and upgrading the syspension.

I'm in So Cal and I scrape every parking stop and many shopping center entrances.
I know most people like it lower, but I'd like to go up a tad.

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

All stock. I looked at Eibach Civic components online. They only had springs and sway bars. My suspension is like a brick.

I also posted a question in the Best Tire thread .... Should I go to a larger rim and a tire with a larger section width?

Thanks for the reply.
