Default new suspension

so i took my car 2 the dealership 2 check the popin noise and they said my bump stops are going bad and $600-700 is the price range to get it fixed.

so the ?? is, if i get a new supension kit like buddyclub damper or tein, would that take car of the problem?

If you are really serious about the suspension mod then go ahead and get new stuff(s). If you are looking to stay a little bit stock I would bitch about getting a good will consideration.

^at your cost if you are not in warranty.

if you have warranty they should replace it for free if you are noticing this "popping" noise

So wait. Is there a recall on this or not? Because, if there is a recall on anything on your car, Honda is obligated to fix your car, at no cost to you, whether your warranty is over or not.


And...if your car falls under the recall, and they will pay for it, have them install the fix for free. Then, buy the new suspension kit. If you ever want to go back to stock, or sell the car with oem parts, it will already have the fix. Only if it doesn't cost you anything though.
