Default 4th gen bottoms out

Hey,

I have a 1994 prelude h23a1 that is stock suspension/tires. Actually, it is pretty much stock everything. My car bottoms quite often however. It kind of sucks. I know this is common for a sports car to bottom out, but this just seems almost redicolous. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Basically, I was wondering if there may be different springs I could use or something.

Also, I noticed those white integra type-R rims are pretty nice. Does anybody know of a cheap place to order some? Maybe I am jumping the gun, who knows how long I'll even keep my car. This is my 1st car and all.

It sounds like that your stock dampers are blown.

Yep, shocks are blown or really worn out.

BTW, there was a certain year when the ITR's wheels were 114.3X4, i think it's 96, and there's a site out there that sells them.
