I got an '01 EX a few months ago and am looking to make it a smoother ride at stock OEM height. I recently drove an '07 Civic LX and '07 Accord VP and really noticed how much smoother the ride was. Before contacting the dealership, is there an aftermarket suspension, struts and shocks, etc,that will tighten my ride while giving mea smooth ride. I've been debating strut and tie bars but then again, sway bars have caught my attention accompanied by new struts and shocks. This is a daily driver, non-racer, and am just looking to get a little smoother.

 

i'll let you in on a little secret, there is no such thing as a tightened and smoother ride, hate to break it to you. the reason the 07' models ride smoother is because honda engineers make changes over the years to make them smoother and more comfortable, an aftermarket suspension won't give you what you're looking for.

 

smooter means aftermarket springs, stiffer ride means like sway bars, tie bars, strut bars, etc. You could get them both i guess. Itd be expensive but well worth it, but i dont think it will be OEM height.

 

define "smoother", you won't find any springs softer than what's stock. you could reduce body roll with swaybars, though.
