I have recently purchased a 95 prelude that was lowered by the previous owner. Using a matrix coil over kit [08-200 printed on side of box, if important], he lowered the car I believe.. 2.25 inches. Now I love the stance the vehicle has, but the ride is so horrible and bouncy its genuinly unsafe; the control of the vehicle is compromised.
Now while I do have the origional springs or coils, if theres a diffrence between the two, I dont know - I would like to keep the current height of the vehicle while improving the ride quality, but dont know how to aproach the problem. Do I need new shocks? Other new components? If so, which ones exactly do I need and where can I attain them?
Any help is very much apreciated, the car simply isn't a joy to ride with the suspension problem.
Thank you.

 

usally a bouncy ride can be fixed with some crazy shocks. get some good adjustable shocks, shop around. im not really sure which is the most stiff shock, but i like BUMPY rides, where you can feel the road and the turns. not bouncy.

 

You are probably riding on stock shocks.

If I were you, I would do it right. Get a new set of shocks and maybe some Ground Control coilover sleeves.

I have a set of KYB AGX adjustable shocks for sale. Email me if you are interested.

 

yeah shocks will fix your problem. Get some KYB AGX or Koni Yellows.

 

Tokico shocks are nice!

 

I agree about you probably having stock shocks and you should upgrade to some stiffer ones, and I also agree with AndyD about getting some better coilovers.

As far as shocks go I have KYB AGXs they work and hold up great and they still give me a nice ride. Tokicos are supposed to be better but I think KYB AGXs are good for the money.

Coilovers - You should get some Ground Controls or Skunk 2s. I still have some coilovers sitting around hear some place but I decided to go with H&R springs for my ride and also for the quality.
