Can you guys help me out?
People in cali around L.A. area where the horrible roads are, can you tell me your suspension on your wagon.
How it rides, does it absorb the potholes, not bounce, and ride comfortable for daily use?
Lowness of it.
how much you paid for it.
and pics if possible.
i need to upgrade my suspension, it bounces like crazy and i want something i can drive in L.A. roads and freeways without jumping around or feeling the road really harsh.
Thanks in advance to those who reply.

    it bounces because your shocks are most likely gone.

    if you want to get new suspension pm me. i can get you a set and im in socal, the OC.

    i tested all 4 shocks with regular spring on my friends hatch they absorb alot.
    so their not shot.
    and what kind of suspension we talkin' :wink:

    Test the bound and rebound? Just because the "absorb" doesnt mean they are still sweet.

    For a smooth ride you need a shock valved to suit the spring rate and with sufficient travel.

    I know but i thought i just change the rear suspension since thats where the bounce comes from, but i might just get extended top hats to extend the travel of the shock to absorb more.

    Are you looking for suggestions on what suspension you should run. Why don't you post your budget and intentions. Cheap $ set up has always been KYB struts and some decent lowing springs for around $600? When I HPDE'ed my old integra, I ran Kony Yellow SSP? With GC sleeves with 800lb front and 600lb rear springs - ran me $1400ish new

    right now i switched to old wagons rear struts with da lowering springs and i get 1 finger gap from tire and fender. and its rides smoooth :D
