i have a 97 civic dx coupe, the thing rides like a rock. And I've always have lifted trucks so I'm used to an uncomfortable ride but this is rediculous! I've been looking at struts to run, I currently have the gr2 kyb struts. If any of you have experience with the Heavy Duty bilsteins, how is the ride quality? I'm not interested in lowered springs, I may even go with integra springs to lift it a little higher. any input??

 

never had bilsteins in a honda, but they ride very smooth in other applications i have had..

 

really no one here has used the HD's in a civic? I'm looking for offroad quality ride here!

 

Had them in my EG that I sold. Great ride even with my Skunk2 slip on's slammed.

 

nice thanks!

 

I dont think you mentioned what springs you have. That has more impact on ride quality than shocks. Lowered car + stiff springs = rough ride. Also the larger the wheel the worse it will be.

 

stock springs, stock aluminum 14 inch wheels, kyb gr-2 struts. i don't want to lower it, tired of scraping as is
