I keep seeing the "What is the best...?" question getting asked and answered repeatedly. I thought I'd ask the opposite-"What is THE absolute bottom-of-the-barrel suspension components a person could put on a Honda?"

Mind you I'm not looking for pat answers like "These. Because they suck". I thought one might include some good reasoning like mentioning quality, warranty, personal experience, customization (ie; choosing spring rates), customer service/support of the company, etc (again "good" or "bad" doesn't really qualify as a real technical answer).

So we all know, no-name, no-frills components (aka JDM), bought off of Ebay are probably KING when it comes to garbage so let's take that as a given.

 

This should be a good one, im in for some good info as well!

 

I just want to know what the 2nd to worst suspension component is.

I know 2nd best is tokico illumina's.

 

Seems legit to me.

 

i think id shlt my pants if that happened to me lol

 

umm yea.


I was going to say "no-names/ebay" brands.

 

^ thats OMNIPOWER.

id say theyre the worst.

 

I had a set of D2 full coilovers, absolutely horrible. Did not matter what I did setting wise the ride quality beat the crap out of the car. Sure they are pretty cheap, should have spent a little more money and got something better.

 

hey hey!!! no!

 

Well you never know, sence they are 1 peices

 

Those are JIC's in the picture and definitely not 2nd to worst nor the worst.

 

ohh, I have heard great things about those. Now I am kind of wondering if a accident played a roll in that?

 

How about heated/cut springs on oe/oe replacement shocks?

 

anytime you see a suspension box that says how many "pieces" are in the box

brand x suspension. 4pcs

that's never good

suspension is really simple if you keep it that way

koni str.t & brand name springs
koni/gc
amr
moton

pick one depending on your budget

there really is no reason to consider anything else

 

You know I'm not asking for myself. Just thought this could turn out to be a resource to show the other side of the Best/Worst equation. So really this thread shouldn't be concerned with about what is best. We've done that one to death.

 

^

Hahahahahaha. You only run koni/gc

 

Now tell all the people watching at home exactly WHY they are all garbage.

 

Agreed!

 

And....?

Have you ever used the so called garbage products? Just cuz they dont have 10+ years behind them doesnt mean they suck.. LOL

 

In my limited experience, I would say Tenzo R lowering springs are the worst suspension component.

I say this because back in 99 a friend of mine had some installed on her 90 accord coupe. After the install the car became very tail happy. It ended it's life getting onto a long right-handed highway ramp with a dip at the bottom. After swapping ends in traffic, it was hit by a truck. My friend was okay...

 

Wow way to leave out KW, definitely somewhere between your koni and motons

 

That's 'cause we're looking for a running list of the WORST. Not the best.

 

Hi did mention som god so i had to chime in.

Worst are obvious, any pick your color taiwan bullshit

 

And I keep asking people to explain WHY. This is for the benefit of all the noobs and ignorant who buy cheap and buy shiny without informed info. Just saying something is crap really has no merit unless it can be backed up with some solid info.

 

Given that so many people complain about Blox control arms or rather the bushings in them, I'm suprised they haven't made the list yet. I really wanted a set because they looked cool....until I did more research.
