Default GC and Tokico shocks installed now...

Well it's been installed, but he says he is feeling everything when he drives. Every bump, rock, and dip. Is it suppose to be like this ?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for being a noob, still new to the scene and just a kid trying to learn. :]

i suppose if your used to the stock system, a much harder system will have that effect. the sport suspesions are usually rock hard compared to the stockies

How far is it lowered?

What did you think stiffer springs would do? For a nice comfortable ride, nothing beats the stock springs. What was your purpose in changing them?

We'll we thought the ride would be smoother and more comfortable, but the true purpose was to just lower the car. Thanks for the info.

did you guys cut the bumpstops? how much is the car lowered?

anything lower than stock will be *at least a little bit bumpy*


if you think GC with tokico shocks is bad, try cheap coilovers with stock shocks! now thats a bumpy ride!

If your purpose was the lower the car, you succeeded. You look cool bouncing around in there. Now your purpose is better ride quality? You probably lowered the car too much. Try a 1.5 inch drop from stock. Or put the suspension back to stock and buy some huge *** wheels.

Sorry I'm being a dick. I'm just angry at Honda ricers in general.
