Gen 1 CR-V Suspension Upgrades?

[rkoski]

Our 2001 CR-V SE is my wife's grocery getter and kid hauler. But, we use it for family trips and I can't stand the soft suspension with the body roll. Any suggestions out there for reasonable upgrades to stiffen it up a bit and to reduce the roll? Are coilovers a crazy consideration?

Yeah, find out what the stock spring rates are and call up HR, Tokico, Koni or someone and see what they have that'll stiffen up your ride. Then just order matching shocks/struts that they recommend and install. Make sure you get progressive rate springs. In case you don't know, progressive rate springs stiffen up the more they compress so it rides like stock when you're just driving but it'll stiffen up through the corners.

Although for a grocery getter/kid hauler I think you're really going overboard by modding the suspension and you should just leave it alone.

amr suspension is pricey but will design a shock setup for u that u will very well be pleased with 1400... as soon as i get enough i will hop on them

Lol brix i dunno if the guy will get much help 4 years later. But... I suppose for anyone else that may be looking, I've been running a set of H&R lowering springs and the blue Tokico shocks for about a year and the handling is way better.

I believe my 2005 CRV is considered Gen2, Yes or No?

Yes that is correct
