its time for new Suspension for my crx
i have had
tokico blues with newspeed sport springs
also koni oranges with skunkworks

there are pretty shitty roads around here and im sick of blowing shocks out
the car is not that low the tire is at the fender, 16in rims with 205/50/16

is there a coilover combo that are pretty strong that dont blow??
here is a pic to show how low it is
any ideas would help

 

bunp for some good info

 

You're too low and bottoming out the shocks. It's not rocket science.

No shock travel = boom = kaputt.

Either raise the car, get shorter shocks, get extended top hats, stop whining.

 

I think you do need to raise it up a little, but here check this out. I'm running a simialar setup on my beater. I would guess your upper control arms might be close to hitting even.

there are no roads in the us that are worse than PA roads. and i have tockio blues with neuspeed green springs and i have never had a problem with the shocks blowing in the 2 1/2 years that i have had them.

if they´re blowing, that´s why. all mentioned suggestions would help. well, except the whining thing. that´s what h-t is for. just don´t whine anymore now that you´ve been told.

also, your shock selection has been on the low side of things. i don´t know the spring rates of whatever you´re using now, but a decent shock would help too, once any bottoming issue is resolved.
