1st are they coil overs or springs. if coils ur driver front has 2 be a little higher cause ur weight plus motor is on the driver side it sits lower than passger and or u need new shocks.. -
Springs...I took my homie with me and he said that the spring was bad which I dont believe Cuz theyre Brand New, I think its the shock too. How would I tell if it is the shock though. Like are there visual links that tell u "HEY IM BAD DUMBASS"?Comment

wtf do you want me to say, he wanted to be cool so he bought COIL-OVERS. And like everyone before him who didnt research and know what they want, hes complaining. This is what you get for blowing your oem struts up and lowering a car cheaply. Im pretty sure astrovans cb is stupidly low and rides better than his shit.Comment

Like anything else, you get what you pay for. Companies like Form&Function, Koni, Neuspeed and skunk2 are good places to start. YES, theyre a little pricey, but your ride will be much better.
You also need to condier what kind of ride youd like to get, then choose the best spring/coilover that works.

go back to stock and buy some real lowering springs. u wont find any coilover (EXCEPT for ground control) that is anything close to comfortable. most likely u have used your stock tophats and struts on the shitty coils. sooo unless u have a spring compressor ur not gettin ur stocks back on. buy some struts that are meant for lowered cars and reuse ur oem tophats and buy some ground controls if u really want coils.
payfor it now or pay for it l8rComment

Personally, I was going to buy some cheapo Ebay coil-overs too, but luckily I fast fortunate enough to find this website before deciding on my purchase. Its not like ebay makes it any easier either, because sometimes the prices are very tempting. Besides, its not like it says: warning, these things will seriously dipshit the ride experience in your car... on the ad.
Anyhow, on to topic. My advice, put your original springs back, or get some originals from a junkyard or something. At this rate, your struts might go out because of the stress they are in, they weren't designed for those things.
Then, save some money and buy a proper suspension. Sure it might cost a lot($700+ on most kits), but I hear it is totally worth it. That's what I'm waiting to do.Last edited by shadowdlink; 10-04-2009, 08:29 PM.Accord 93 LX: H23 intake mani, Ebay short ram, P12 ecu, Full exhaust. Lots of noise... and that's about it, just noise.

Actually my ride is surprisingly smooth (for $170) UNTIL i hit a pothole. I do believe that its the shock. The springs were all i could afford so thanks for the support. Now that i have the springs Im happy with them as far as stance and shit but...if anyone has any better advice then im open if not and your just gonna chew as if you know my finances SAVE IT cuz honestly know plenty of ppl who spend cheaply and dont have any problems. Now back to the original ? shocks or bad spring remember this is only on the driver front.
Btw thanks for the welcome and your Cb is clean
