| Best shops for suspension repair?
Hi,
Recently, I've been noticing very poor ride quality. There is very little dampening, and my ass hurts every time I go over speed bumps or potholes.
I'm riding on stock suspension on 03 RSX base, and have about ~70,000km on them.
What shops do you guys recommend for suspension repairs?
Or do you think I need new ones?

There's not much you can do about poor ride quality. It's most likely that your shocks have worn out and you will need new ones. Do you have lowering springs?

where can I buy OEM suspension set for RSX other than Acura dealerships?
I guess I could go with coilovers, but I'm looking for ride comfort more than handling.

If you're going to go OEM again, your money is better spent on aftermarket shocks like Koni, Tokico, etc. You'll spend less money and have a nicer ride.

no. Warehouses are not stocking the product. the reason is that tokico is not coming out with new fittings, and are getting rid of the old part numbers.
You probably bought yours on ebay?
