Default 2000 Civic Si HELP!!

I have a 2000 civic si. I just put in some KYB Shocks and some Tenzo R coilovers. But now my car is really really bumpy and unbearable to drive. What are some things I can do to fix this? Or will I have to buy some other coilovers to fix it?

stiffer suspension makes you feel all the bumps in the road.

That, or you could swap it out and install a different set up.

I'd be willing to bet that the car is too low.

Are you running AGX or GR2's?

AGX. So I should raise my car a bit?

Depends on how far you lowered it.

Not sure if it applies across the lines, but my girl has AGX on her Max and they're VERY stiff (especially in the winter), even with soft springs. In my experience, the Tokico Illuminas offer a much more compliant ride.

Sell those garbage coil overs and purchase some QUALITY springs or coilovers. I would recommend Eibach Sportlines or Ground Controls and wouldn't lower the car more then about 1.5".

If nothing else, you can always buy a set of Eibach ERS springs. 8"x2.50"x350 for the front and 7"x2.50"x250 for the rear.
