what will they make the car handle like ? share your personal exp.

 

-Goin over a speed bump your car will bounce on the springs instead of being dampedned buy the shock.

-Driving at 65mph on a fwy with longitudional grooves on the cement your rear end will wander from left to right.

- Pushing down on a corner of the car that has a blown shock will be funny.

I remember i could push my civic all the way down so my rear tire would tuck in the fender well LOL

When i pushed on it i could bounce the rear body like a basketball..sortof :-)

mine does the first two. I've got H&R sports so I most definitely have blown shocks by now. I bought the car that way from my cousin. He thinks that he isn't a ricer, but everything done to the car was to look "cool". The stuff I can live with is still on, the stuff I can't yet replace I'm working on, and the APC altezzas are in the trash.

 

So I officially have blown struts. Current setup is ground control coilovers with stock shocks. What shocks are recommended with GC's?

 

Koni yellows will be a good combo

 

yeah , mine are gone but I just was curious if the wandering of the car on freeways was normal w/ blown struts/shocks. Koni yellows will be on mine by mid december. I have tein stechs on a 93 civic coupe w/ stock struts and spc f+r camber kit, ES master bushing set +the rear trailing arm bushings, everything is new as far as suspension except my struts , there so damn expensive!!! but from what Ive heard they are so worth it.

 

BTW thanx for the replys , I have not had that much action since high school prom!!!

 

Im geussing my front ones are blown then since if i try to launch the car it bounces like no tomarrow and and it also steers with grooves in the cement

 

That's exactly how mine is riding right now! I guess I should consider the Koni Yellows w/my GC's...
