I have about 74k miles on my 2003. I called a few people at Honda and they told me to wait if there are no existing problems with my shocks. My ride is fine, its not bouncy or everything. Should I wait until the shocks go out? I dont want to have to shell out 1k for coilovers just yet if i dont have to. Some of the guys at the alignment shop are telling me im passed my due date for replacing the shocks. Should i buy get the coilovers now or wait? Also, Buddy Clubs or KW V2? thanks guys

i have 89K on original shocks.

although they are not leaking or blown...i know that they are worn down...almost out. not as stiff as they used to be.

i BELIEVE shocks can wear out, without being blown or leaking.

and i think the state of my shocks is WORN.

someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I saw some track times posted the other day. A stock S with 72k and the original suspension as only 2 seconds slower than full race prepped S2k.

The track was Willow.
