hi all

i just recently purchased a set of used aerospeed coilovers for a civic to use on my da

before the coils i had h&r sports on my stock shocks and the ride was perfect just not low enough for my likings

so far i only have the front set on the car and the ride is significantly stiffer and it feels as if there is no rebound from the shocks (which still have about .5 inch of bumpstop on them)

im not pleased at all with the results of the install and im considering going back to the original setup

any help pointing me in the right direction with these coils will be greatly appreciated

also the car is being used as a daily driver, so i was just looking to lower it down alittle and maybe if possible gain something in the handling department

thanks again

 

Can someone help me out?

 

Well for one thing, you need a minimum of 1" of bumpstop on each shock. If you bottomed out you may have destroyed your shocks..

 

IF thats the case, then do you think i should go back to my original setup?

thanks for the reply

also is there anyway to tell how my shock is blown?

thanks again

 

it depends if your original set up includes the busted shocks!

 

With the original setup, the ride was perfect and it did not feel like this
