should i stick back to my old stock suspension?

Question

Okay so i have a Honda civic 2000 coupe. Had skunk2 adjustable coil over springs on them for about 3 months and the ride is bouncy. Now I bought skunk2 sport shocks to help the bouncing but didnt get it installed yet. Should I just stick back to my old set up or go ahead with the new shocks (which will last longer and which is better?) if i would have known it would be bouncey i wouldnt have lowered the car

thank you! let me know!

Answer 1

Customise ur vehicle as you wish but clear your doubts from xperts. I think you can change your sus b cause civic's displacement is really low.

Why not strike a happy medium. You should be able to find out exactly what the spring rate is on your new lowered springs. Usually the rate is inscribed on the end of each pig tail (very end) of the coils. If not call the company and ask what rate it is. Depending on the company they all offer different rate springs.

If you know the inside and outside diameter Afco, Hypercoil and Eibach make coil over springs in 8,10,12 and 14 in. lengths with every spring rate you can possibly think of. pitstopusa.com carries all three brands, lengths and spring rates

If you have adjustable coils order a new set of coils that have 50 - 75 lbs. less spring rate and raise the car back to the original ride height. It's important to raise the car back up because the suspension will have a softer ride and at the same time more shock and spring travel. The lower spring rate the softer (present) shock valving will work fine.
More travel will not work if you leave the car dragging on the ground. You will get interference with bumps on the highway.

It's too bad the company who sold you this set-up didn't do a better job matching the higher rate springs with shocks with stiffer valving to control the bouncing you're feeling at this time.
