Default Suspenion Help

Hey guys heres the deal. Ill make it short and to the point. When i first got into honda's i was a noob went out and got H&R race springs, very stiff, very low, requires good dampening not to be" bouncy" i used some GR2's Lol Silly i know. The ride was pretty good handling wise, didnt have any brake dive, no body roll, potholes pwned me, it was rough as hell. I got some Tein S- tech springs to get the comfortable ride back. At first they seemed really smooth, now about a year later it feels worse. I can feel everything in the road, my car is noisy, still on the old gr2's, they are most likely blown from the aggressive properties of the H&R race springs, will blow struts cause this? I thought usually they will make your ride bouncy, these teins just dont feel as soft as they used to be. Is this a bi-product of blow struts? Just tryin to get my ride comfortable again

The rough ride that you have with the tein springs is because the shocks are shot ...

when upgrading try getting some Koni yellows

Tokico Illuminas are another good quality option

I've never had the KYB agxs but a few of my friends do and they all seem to like them. Not sure how they stack up to the ever popular Koni Yellows though.

KYB does not warranty the AGX or any other shock for extreme lowering. Koni Sports will take just about anything you can throw at it, and have a lifetime warranty, just to show you what kind of quality they are.
