View Full Version : Unhappy with new suspension setup...way too soft...

Okay, I read a LOT about what was available for our cars on this forum, and I ended up buying Nuespeed springs (1.5" drop) and new KYB GR2 struts. I installed them... and I am going to state, with certainty, that the springrates listed in these forums are wrong. I know the neuspeeds are progressive, but they are REALLY REALLY REALLY soft, much softer than even stock springs. Sure, it looks cool lowered a little, but the car is not much fun to drive anymore, at all. Why? It's just entirely too soft. Also, on bigger bumps, the car bounces all ghetto style, and this is with NEW kyb GR2 struts.

All in all, I'm pretty disappointed. I also recently bought an 89 Prelude Si with 4 wheel steering, and I LOVE THE SUSPENSION ON THAT CAR. Is there anyway to swap prelude suspension into an accord? It's perfect. It's firm, but not punishing. It handles amazingly well!

Thanks!
