Its going to be a rough ride when you have a lowered car.. If you want a nicer rice. put the stock suspension on there

I have tein basics.. and its not a bad ride.. but you def. feel every bump in the road

 

whats your budget?

 

Here are some pics. people tell me thats its going to feel this way because its lowered

Welcome to HCF! I know what you mean about rough ride, it makes daily driving a chore. [:@] Are those 18 inch wheels? Aside from springs, your tires have lot to do with ride comfort. Old treads and sidewalls add to a more uncomfortable ride as well. 18 inch wheels make for a very thin sidewall. Personally in an area with a lot of potholes, I wouldn't go bigger than 17s. IMHO. Nice ride BTW.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

They look like 17's to me, w/40 series tires. But yeah as everybody else has said if you want a much better ride go with a good quality set of shocks, or you could go back to the stockk 15 inchers which would improve the ride a fairly good amount.

Best of luck with the car, and welcome to the forum!

 

I also have a 00 civic that is lowered, and I have the same problem, but I also have low pro tires which doesn't help any. There are a crap load of pot holes on my way to work. After awhile you just get used to dodging the pot holes. That's really the only time I have issues. But if it's bad all the time I agree w/ everyone else...well I agree w/ them anyways, but I know how you feel.


I doubt that helped any, but you can have my 2 cents anyways

 

thanks everybody

 

Looks to me like it's just a cheap coilover system. That, coupled with bigger wheels and low pro tires is going to create a pretty rough ride. It doesnt look like theres anything WRONG with the setup that's in there, so I guess just champ it out until you can afford to get some quality parts in there.
