I recently bought my civic and I notice that it lowered in some skunk2 pro coilovers, now my ride is bouncy and I hate that ! And I was wondering how can I fix that ? I totally don't know nothing about suspension .

Or should I just buy some coilovers or lowering springs ?


I'm just looking to drop it maybe like 1.5" or 1.7" not to much . Any recommendations?

i think you should just buy new ones. if you go for a spring shock setup i would go eibach sportlines with koni yellow shocks, but if you are gonna go coilovers i would probably go either tein or buddy club

Wrong!

OP you may have too much pre-load setup on that coilover. I'm sure if you youtube it you can find a how to setup pre-load.

What pre-load does is basically adds load to the spring making it stiffer. When too stiff the front end get very bouncy. I know cause I have the same setup as you but I don't mind it cause I track the car and need it to be stiffer.

So taking away some of the pre-load will make it less bouncy.

Glad that helped!

hate ricers

buy a regular suspencion tein

Please explain how is that ricer???

Also the Tein suspension for the 8th gen is by far the worse when it comes to handling. They are softer then stock and not ideal if you are looking for something that handles better then stock!

Research a little before saying anything...

GTFOH. Come in here talking **** and can't even spell suspension.

I find that suspension actually has a lot to do with age. If you are in your 20s, a stiff ride is a little different than a stiff ride in your 40s.

Tein...lolz

Get the junk2's off your car, and put a reputable shock/sleeve/spring combo on and rejoice in proper damping.

The Junk2's aren't as junk as you may think... I have them on my Si and yes they are stiff but they do well for track. Yes they aren't ideal for DD if you just want something comfortable as they are more suited for someone who wants to some spirited driving!

If you want something comfortable that handles like stock get those crappy Tein's that's pretty much all they are good for!

I like the HFP, but I'm old.

Edit: stupid auto correct

I concur. On the HFP, not so much on age.
