shock absorber for crv

[marshall]

what available preformance shock absorber are available in the market for the new crv? would it make the ride more comfortable? i find the ride very bumpy close to that of it's class namely the revo and crosswind.

[kimpOy]

welcome to tsikot marshall

hmm maraming aftermarket shocks available sa market
from KYB gas shocks 1000 plus each to rancho, old man emu, trailmaster, bilsteins,
if you have the money to burn i say to go the rancho rs9000/rs9000x
with 5 and 9 settings f rom soft to hard

[marshall]

will it provide a better ride? less bumpy?
thanks for the info

[kimpOy]

imho
yes, less bumpy and great handling on cornering
check out the Rancho RS5000 thread, dito sa Anything....Diesel

Honda Civic ang platform ng CR-V. Maybe Honda Civic performance shocks will work for it.

You might need new tires to cure the bumpiness.Honda Civic ang platform ng CR-V. Maybe Honda Civic performance shocks will work for it.

mas advisable parin ba magpagawa ng shocks sa casa or pwede na sa labas? Gen 1 CRV yung car. May nababalitaan kasi ako pag honda daw di basta basta ang pagbabaklas ng suspension. I was quoted for 17th sa casa to replace front shocks.

[Supierreman]

lumang thread na pala to pero yung sa Gen2 CR-V so far wala pa shocks. If you want to improve the ride check out the CR-V thread in HCP meron nakuha mga Gen2 boys dun JDM Rear springs for Gen2. Cheaper than what the casa offers. So far their reviews indicate that ride has improved with the spring swap only.. no need to change the shocks.


promdiboy,
same lang sa EK Civic yung suspension ng CR-V gen1. madali lang baklasin yun kabisado na ng shops who knows how to handle civics.

I just changed mine 2 or 3 weeks ago with Bilstein shocks. Sa fusion R ko pinagawa kaya nila bakalasin yan.


Mahal masyado OEM shocks ng Honda. Sobra overpriced. for a set of 4...30k aabutin sa casa. SA US sites dapat around Php19k lang aabutin lahat.

For 30k all in all ..ka price nya na brand new Bilsteins. Downside with getting bilsteins though magiging stiffer yung ride pero gaganda handling. Pwde bumili ng Bilstein na pair lang.


Another option would be KYB shocks. Meron na KYB replacement shocks for Gen1 V...dati mahirap maghanap nun.

Nakita ko sa HRC ..2000 isa...meron sa ibang shop 1.8t. Gas shocks na to just like the OEM shocks na gas rin.

s man,
got mine 4 shocks n springs for the gen2crv at 28k. mas softer yung ride than the oem 4x2 gen2 crv.

i dont think may avail na shocks na rancho, OME for the gen2 CRV, even for the gen 1 here sa phils.

[Supierreman]

KCboy,
ok na rin yan ah.. anong brand ng shocks yun for Gen2? saka anong springs?

[promdiboy]

arb diba may shop ka? how much aabutin replace shocks ng gen 1 CRV. very important saakin ang soft ride.

supierman malapit lang ako sa fusion r, may kakilala ka ba dun? and ddo they have oem shocks?

[Supierreman]

PROMDIBOY,
Si Auto Xer andun sa Fusion R kilala sya dito sa tsikot. 1000 singil sa shocks install (250 per shock). meron Lifter sa fusin R and a spring compressor that they use to safely dismantle the shock assembly.

Pag palit ka ng shock sabay mo na rin palitan top shock rubber mounts.

sa akin kase palitin na yun taas na kase mileage ko (130t km hehe) pero pag ok pa yung rubber di pa kailangan palitan. Inabot din ako around 1800+ for all those shock mount rubbers.
Front shock assembly:

*yung nasa pic sa taas labeled as #6 yung rubber mounts


Rear shock:

*2nd pic yung labeled as #2 naman




Wala OEM shocks nga lang sa Fusion R yep the trade off in having Bilsteins installed mawawala yung comfortable ride feel na well known for the Gen1 V.

here's a quote from HondaCR-V.org (sayang nabasa ko lang itong post sa HondaCR-V.org nung nakabili na ako ng bilstein hehe..)

In my experience ganyan din.. when negotiating speedbumps tumatalbog ngayon yung likod ng Gen1 ko parang Gen2 CRV hehe


*edit
dagdag lang.. if you're going to get OEM shocks or KYB.. wala pa kasama bumpstops yun so you need to get those too. sa Bilstein may kasama na Bumpstops

The shops is my friends, sa shocks lang kami partner. Team Centerline Car Audio and Acc. But its in the province.

May OME avail but not yet in stock, your option if you want to change it now would be Bilsteins, OEM, and maybe KYB. Bilsteins come with adjustable ride height, you can lower/lift your ride without the need to change springs. Nasa 30k plus ang set.

[promdiboy]

supierman thanks for the info very helpful, I guess worth it na talaga yung oem shocks sa casa kahit sobrang mahal. yan na siguro kukunin ko. your right the CRV gen1 is known for its comfortable ride.

OEM na!

may nabasa ako dati may nagpost dito nung tinaas yung CRV niya ng casa sa liffter natanggal yung shocks. parehong pareho kami nung inakyat sa lifter bumigay yung shocks. Cant find tthat theread. I wonder kung anong pinili niya.

[phillipogi]

OEM shocks talaga mas soft ang ride, right now i'm using an OEM shocks in front, KYB sa likod. Stiff ang likod, soft ang harap. Mas mura ata bumili ng OEM shocks sa mga authorized Honda parts dealer sa labas eh. I remember para sa accord, OEM shocks is P4000+ each lang, compared sa casa almost 6000 each. accord yun ha, mas mura pa pag civic or crv siguro.

[laklak]

magkano ba usually yung OEM shocks ng gen1 crv? advisable bang bumili ng japan replacements? Pina refill ko sa zee carplus yung shocks ng CRV ko last summer tapos ngayon umiingay na ulit. May warranty pa siya kaso naisip ko quick fix nanaman ang mangyayari dito, might as well replace the whole thing. Saang shop ba sa banawe ang merong murang honda parts, ang suki ko lang kasi sa banawe mitsubishi eh.

[speedyfix]

sa gen 2 just replace the springs.

sa gen 1 madali masira shock. kyb or bilstein will work fine.
