Hi guys,im new here,i got reffered thru vancouvercivics.com and revscene.net
anyways my problem is i put some apc coilover sleeves for my 94 civic si coupe,i spend 150$ for them and 100$ to install,it was ok,now its been 3-4 months since they are on my car,its about 3-4 weeks my car is so bouncy in the front,i dare to go on a bump,after i go it bounces like a hydrolic lowrider for about 5-10 seconds!!!!! Ive been told that its my shocks,they are gone!!! I also was told if i take them off and put some H&R or NEUSPEED or any brand name springs/not coils it will be back to normal!!!! anyways now my main question is what to do!?!?!

-Should i buy some KONI or KYB or.... SHOCKs and change my stocks?? OR
-Should i sell the no name coilovers and buy some brand name springs,like H&R,NEUSPEED or....???

I know cheapest shocks ii found here in canada is $80 for i think KONI's?!?! which that will be $320+installation....... but if i do springs it will be like $200-250 with install (as i know a shop) !!!

SO GUYS PLZ HELP ME,NOW IM NOT IN A GOOOD FINANCIAL SITUATION,WHATS THE BEST/CHEAPEST WAY TO GO????? PLZ PLZ PLZZZZZ HELP ME

I thought this was a joke at first but your serious!!!.....yes those type of so-called coilovers are bouncy with your stock shocks. It seems like you want something for daily driving so H&R, NEUSPEED, Eibach, Tein, Progress are your best choices...Good luck o yea, and welcome to H-T

 

lol.........not a joke....i willl never buy no name coilovers again!!!!!!

 

U might as well get a Full suspension settup now since ur struts are blown, Buying springs andputting them on ur blown struts will not help. Ur struts are blown theres nothing u can do about those, so i think u should jsut save ur money and save up for a Full coilover settup!

 

Just wondering, What where u thinking putting anything APC on ur car especially SUSPENSION!!!! most important thing in a car IMO

If you don't have money then live with the bouncy ride for a while until you can afford to spend $750US on shocks and install. Anything less will be wasted. Buy Koni and be done with it (lifetime warrantee).

 

your shocks = gone.

since your money = gone too, i'd get a set of KYB AGX's for around $350 US and some lowering springs. $500 US + install $ is as cheap as you're gonna get away with fixing this problem for.

otherwise, look for someone selling stock shocks, and reinstall a stock suspension until you have the $ to do it right.

 

If you can't afford shocks, then I would put the car back to stock. It would ride a lot better

 

get some TEIN Super Streets...My BF has them on his Si and they are sweet!
