Civic too bouncy and hard?

[djpikachu1]

I drive a 95' civic dx and every hump in the road the car bounces like hell, to the point where i can hear the spare tire go up and down and i cant drive fast because when i hit a bump, i almost lost control of the car. Also, when i go over cracks or little holes on the road it doesnt like absorb nothing that even my cd skips. Help please with anything that I should do or put on the car or something thanks.

bigger tires, your shocks may be blown, are they cheap springs?

[djpikachu1]

They are size 14 wheels, i dont know what springs they are i bought the car as it is

from what your saying your shocks are blown

[djpikachu1]

What kind of shocks do you recommend?

[1MP0RTL0V3R]

is your car stock height or is it lowered? because if it is just get oem shocks

[djpikachu1]

its stock

Shocks and struts would be my first guess. After so many miles, these kind of things need to be replaced after so long anyways. Go ahead and replace them.. and if the problem doesn't go away, then move to other possible problems. Could be cheap lowering methods, etc. Moer than likely struts and shocks. And go KYB.

KYB is good, Koni is even better.

I did that today with my dad and will this make it less bouncy though?
Whats race ready developments because when i bought the car it has that sticker in the windshield?

its not necessarily blown shocks.

if it has adjustable lowering springs then they could be lowered too far.

if you have aftermarket shocks already, they could be a stiff shock, or even adjustable.

check your setup first..
