Default 94 Accord Tein HA Kit Suspension Problems

I have a Tein HA kit on my 94 Accord. I've been having the worst ride ever. If I ran the car without any bumpstops could this be a big problem? Should I cut these bumptops to a specific mm if used @ all?

I've also opted to buy the another set of springs from TEIN, @ the spring-rate of their CS kit. Still no luck. Any thoughts or comments welcome.

Hmm... Tein full coilover suspension should already come with bumpstops. Well for my Tein SS they came with bumpstops. But rather than the typical black ones on stock cars... they are upgraded to the harder white plastic bumpstop/bushings.

I'm not sure on the mm how low my drop is, but pretty much equivelant to a 2-1/4" drop. I've tried the setting all the way down, but moved them up to setting #5 on all 4 ends.

Tein HA are pretty high up on the Tein suspension scale. I think you prob have a stiff *** spring rate which is causing you to have a crappy *** ride... Have you tried adjusting damper rates? I never knew they made Tein HA for the cd or even the cbs which would be the same suspension... Unless you got them from japan?
