Default Rough Riding

Since I've bought my car the ride has been rough as hell even when I put different rims on for the winter which went from 17" to 15" the ride is still really rough in my 02 EX. My dad says in the passenger front the shock is leaking or the strut (Not sure if they're the same thing). I was wondering if anyone else had an 02 EX and the ride is rough naturally.

It hasn't been lowered......yet. I was origionally going to put S-techs on when I got the money but being that I'll need new shocks soon I should probably get some performance shocks and springs. I'm not sure what the price comparison would be for like a decent OEM shock to a Performance shock, but theres no point to buy oem when i wanted to lower it anyways. Yah it kind of bounces alot. When I go over a bridge it tends to bounce and if i hit a pot hole prepare to think the car wheels will fall off and this is only at speeds of like 20 mph.. Do you think my rims F*cked up my shocks cuz thats a really rough ride when I had my 17's on. And if my rims did mess up my shocks is there a way I can prevent it from happening again,other then "not"having low pro tires.

get some cheap KYBs for about $250 a set or just buy new coilovers now, since you need struts as well.

ksports - $560 shipped to your door...

ask devny and psychocivic.
