Just finished my B16 swap this weekend and now the car rides a little low and is WAY too bouncy. Its going to be a daily driver so any suggestions for a shock/spring combination (or anything else) to help raise it a tad and give me a smoother ride?

 

Whats on there now?

 

i have a crx and it was bouncy so i got tokico gas struts and arospeed coilovers and now it rides nice.

Suppose that would have been good info to include

Tokico shocks (blue) and Skunk2 springs (red)...were on the car when I got it so no idea how old (look fairly clean though).

 

Guess you could go with some Tokico Illuminas adjustable shocks and ride height adjustable coil-overs. Not sure on brand you want, but a lot of that comes down to how much money you are willing to spend.

Or you could go for a straight coilover system from Tein, BC, or any of the other numerous companies.

Id check your bushings and what not first.

 

if they are tokico blues they are probably already blown.

 

koni yellows.

 

GC & Illuminas both are adjustable

They have a lifetime warranty, right? I am assuming that you are implying there were some quality control issues with these shocks and it might not be worth my effort to try getting them replaced?

Go to http://www.progressauto.com/

These guys make the best suspensions available for Civics/CRX's w/ B motors in them. They Pull 1.05g on the skidpad in a DX hatch w/ a B16 in it. They're expensive, but rebuildable and ride really nice. They outfit the world's fastest civic w/ suspension *****.

 

YOUR SHOCKS ARE BLOWN PROBABLY FROM LOWERING TOO LOW
ID GO: TOKICO ILLUMINAS WITH SKUNK2 OR GROUND CONTROL COILOVERS
FRONT SET ON 3 REAR SET ON 4
WHEN ADJUSTING THE RIDE HEIGHT START FROM THE TOP AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN
-LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY-
