hows the ride on the H&R race springs for a EK
 

i am getting H&R race springs got the brand new for 96 bucks shipped to my door so i couldn't resist.

but how is the ride i have stock shocks right now on my 96 hatch dx about 75000 miles on the car.

but is it going to bounce to the point that i wanna puke or is the ride decent?

and also which shocks should i be looking into to make the ride real smooth?

first off, i dont have any first hand experience...
but i would imagine they would be realllly rough with stock shocks, they are a really stiff spring so stock shocks wouldnt be able to support them very well.

i'm not sure if you would bounce much, it would be more like a kidney shot every time you hit a pothole....hehe

my opinion: save up for some nice struts (even though i dont know which ones to recommend so i wont throw out names), then pair the two together and you should have a much better dampened ride.

P.S- where did you get them for 96 shipped?! if you dont mind sharing...i might jump on that https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

I like the spring (plan on ordering some for me soon too) as for shocks it is rally up to you but I have had good experiences with tokicko and AGX https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

i had h&r's on my previous integra. wonderful. i agree about upgrading to aftermarket shocks though. it only gets better

how is the ride on stock shocks though crappy huh?

Your gonna want the struts, I needed them with the H&R Sport Springs and Tampa has decent roads, well except I-275 and downtown which is where I go everyday for work. http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif

hmmm what about the shocks or would the struts be more important?

its a little hard and bouncy on stocks.... (struts/shocks). but the springs are nice

its a good clean ride, it handles very nicely, but it gets pretty damn bouncy, and its quite stiff too
