GC COils ANd AGX Struts Bad ride quality WTF
I have had this setup on my car now for about 4 months and i just cant stand it anymore. If im driving slow over stuff and whatnot it seems to be decent , but as soon as the car is moving faster and u hit potholes or anything other than a smooth road it feels like im riding on cut springs and bad struts , the car is at stock ride heigh , not lowered at all. Stock 14" wheels and tires. I have tried so many different settings and i cant get it to feel right. Also it bounces all the way down the highway. I bought the gc coilovers with the 92-95 civic setup , is this from bad spring rates? I heard of maybe swapping the front and rear springs. I had a set of thesse agx's on my 4 door ef with stock springs and the car road like a cadallac and still handled awesome, also i have some bad bushings in the bad on the uppers arms and on the lower bar, not the control arm , i cant think of the name right now , the bigass arm that runs from the front to the back . Someone please advise me what to do , i dread driving the car

1st can i ask u what is the point of buying suspension and keeping it stock height. that seems like a waste to me. did u get them for the right car, are they new or used?

Umm, maybe he's actually interested in performance, not bLiNg, and wanted higher spring rates along with plenty of shock travel?

I don't have a camber kit either and I'm dropped to where there's no fender gap and I have no uneven wear at all.

bumpstops cut and no dust covers. The only thing i did that waas not in the instructions was used the washer for where the top hat slides on instead of the brass collar, dont seem like that would mAKE much of a difference though

Learn english and try again.
But have you confirmed you have the correct spring rates front and rear? Is it possible you put them in bassackwards?
