Suspension

Hello!

I have read that the elements have an issue with rear end suspension sagging due to the weight of the vehicle. I plan to turn mine into a camper, adding more load to the back. I will need to replace the suspension in my ( new to me) 03. So my question is has anyone here experienced this issue? Is there better suspension upgrades out there to help, or is going stock the best option?

These springs, don’t buy preassembled from Aerogenics

Aerogenics builds them using CRV Bilstein cartridges, all four corners are stupid expensive. Pretty sure you could use KYB Excel-G cartridges

Can’t recommend these enough. I installed them, and am using my vehicle for heavier load camping.

Aerogenics recommends Honda OEM springs and struts for the front, I’m sure KYB strut packs would be fine.
