I know EFs usualy give a good feel of the road...but my car is worst then that... in my car i am like...you know the girl that was able to feel a pee from way under many matresses...yeah something like that...i can feel every single hole on the god damn pavement.

I live in Quebec Canada. And we are know for having horible roads.

While driving my dads car.. i realized one thing...it wasnt as bumpy as mine.

he has a EF also. but has 40k less milage on it. winter tire.(my old winter tires...he is that cheap.)
And i have 17" G009 tire...( that might be one of the reason..but my shock did suck before i got them.

I am asking you guys what do you think... i think i need a whole spring shock change... anything else i should change in the same time? Because i wont be doing it my self this time around since its my daily driver...and only car

Also I know a garagist who is able to buy for me parts cheaper.. so OEM parts wont be a problem...or should i look for after market parts...i dont want to lower my car since winter here is a b**** (best way to describe it srry ) i just want to have a nice ride without having my cd player jumping stoping because the bump was too hard but i want to keep my road feel i dont want to feel that i am in a suv lol...

Thx guys....you guys are the best ..
This site is just great..thx for your help
I really appreciate it.

Edit : also my buget is about 500 $can around i guess 454 $usd

 

Prolly blown shocks. Take one off and push it down and see if it pushes in/pushes out smoothly. If it's jerky or doesn't rebound at all (or very weakly), then the shocks are done. The springs won't really go bad unless one's broken or obviously sagging. I had a broken one, but I didn't know until I swapped it for coilovers.

 

ok ..speaking of coil overs...how bad are the ones that they sell cheap on ebay?

 

I had them for a while and they were bumpy, but that was mainly due to the stock shocks. I'll sell you my old ones if you wish.

 

well i am trying not to have a too bumpy ride

 

Get some tokico illuminas,

 

hey hey...there nice...its just out of my budget..
lol...
