Default Shocks!

What parts do I need to replace on my 2001 EXL to get that original comfortable ride back? What are the factors to rid the bumpy ride?

Yes, I want to fix my factory suspension on 2001 EXL.
I'm trying to find out what parts are needed for a suspension tune-up?

I don't have the parts diagram and want to know shocks...struts...etc.
Thanks!

Shocks -

OEM Honda are well OEM
Monroe are cheap things from like Napa/Autozone/Tire places that are OEM replacements
KYB GR-2 are considered OEM Equivalents
Bilsteins are baller shocks used on higher end cars

Springs don't usually go bad - I'd replace the shocks only. Ball joints, and all the bushings (sway bar, etc)

And make sure you're not running 18's with rubber band tires.
