Hello House,

Due to bad roads I'm contemplating raising the suspension of my Accord 2010. However, I will like to understand if there will be any adverse or irredeemable effect.

SHABZ:


Raising the suspension alters the center of gravity of the car, which in certain swerves, could have catastrophic consequences as the aerodynamics of the car will change. Also, the dampening effect the suspension provides will be greatly diminished.

My advice, don't do it.

If you can afford it, change your rim by 1 or change your tyres to a bigger one. If you can't, there is nothing wrong with raising your shocks. I did that to my Honda for 2 years cuz I live in an area with a really bad road and it has not effect. Just make sure its not too high. But note that if you buy a new China made absorber, it may damage it quicker than the tokunba ones that are more durable.

As you can see from that picture, I use big tyres and the absorbers are slightly raised.

Stop such advices. That you did it to your car and the repercussion isn't happening to you yet doesn't mean it should be done to other cars and they'll have no repercussions.

OP, there's everything wrong with raising the suspension of your car. It's very risky. It is very dangerous and can lose stability during high speed maneuvers and it put more stress and strains on suspension and drive train components and tyres than needed.

Oga go and seat down and stop speaking English. People [s]have been raising their suspension in Nigeria since 1960! All those English you're speaking is your own, if you studied engineering, go and practice in Germany. This is Nigeria, we have bad roads and we have dangerous potholes!

If you're saying it's wrong to raise absorber, are you now saying it's over to use bigger tyres cuz car manufacturers also said we should use recommended tyres.

75% of Nigerians living in villages all over this country raise their absorbers, especially farmers who take their mini vans to farm.

Forget Grammar, there is nothing wrong with it. The most important thing is doing it right and making sure it's not too high. This is my 7th year driving different cars and they've all been raised at one point ot the other and I've never been in an accident before, my suspensions have never failed. Why am I still alive since you made it sound like it's a death trap.

I'm on my 3rd car, 2 Hondas and 1 Acura. My current car is a 2012 TL, the absorber is raised. I still speed 140 every time I go to Lagos. You don't believe it's right doesn't mean it's wrong.[/s]

kingreign:

As usual, it's normal for you speak out of ignorance. I leave you to wallow in such ignorancefor such Ignorance is bliss!

HeavenlyBang:


That guy can talk plenty rubbish, just ignore.

kingreign:

Na the same dude wey install civic shocks in his Acura TL and claims it's perfect.

Kelvin30286063:

That was a misunderstanding on my path, I later took down the absorbers after all your bashing and found out they were not civic. Naturally I should have come here to correct myself but I decided to let sleeping dog lie but obviously you still carry my matter for your head. Keep it up

Kelvin30286063:

Yes, let me. Funny thing is people like you can not weld 2 metals together successfully but you start an argument with zero experience. I don't need grammar, my experience with raising my absorbers for the past 7 years is enough.

This thread is none of my business but I couldn't help but notice that timifkay , heavenlybang , kingreign are asslickers to gazzuzz ... which is understandable because they need customers too.
But the way cars are being criticized here I always get surprised when am driving and notice different models and brand of cars on the road. mind you I drive a Peugeot 406 with over 400,000 on the odometer and it's still roaring with life..
No insult please because I won't still reply you ...but know am everyone friend
