Default New suspension but still rides rough???

I bought Eibach sport suspension kit for my 93 civic hatch dx I got it installed and everything but it still rides kinda rough everytime I go over a bumpy road my car makes so much noise it feels like it doesn't withhold the impact... I was wondering what could it be if my suspension is istalled wrong or what...

Seems like you need new shocks.

like i did? lol

it will definately cause a bad ride, bouncy and when you hit a bump it is BAAAAD

not only that, but it harder to control the car at 60 + mph cause its bumping all over the road.

i plan on putting some agx's on mine, op you should do the same

No everything is new on the suspension shocks, struts, springs but what could it be the problem if everything is new it sounds like the wheel wells creak and move when I hit a bump.

check your tire pressure....it might be set to high....lower it a few psi and drive it around.....see how it drives

what kind of shocks are you using? I use Tokico Shocks with my Eibach Springs and don't have an issue. Also are your shock adjustable? If that are the may need to be readjusted.

you may wish to get Tokico Illumina 5-Way Adjustable shocks. That what I use and they ride beautifully.

I had the same problem before. So I changed the shocks, struts, got a camber kit front/rear, sway/strut bars. I put Energy Suspension HyperFlex kit on and it cured all rattles and bumpy rides. Give it a try. I'll sell you the HyperFlex kit for (92-00) civicDX for cheap! Shoot me an I/M
