k, so i have tokico HP's w/ eibach pro kit under my crx. so when i drive by my self the ride is pretty harsh, bump feel like mountains and it seems my car hit them HARD. but when i have two other people in it the ride gets very smooth and comfortable. do you think that i got sent the wrong shocks. perhaps the DA version. i did get them new off of ebay.

could be dampening problems my friend, new struts might cure that one

I doubt Tokico HP's would have that much dampening (they're pretty weak). Likely your springs are too stiff for the weight of your car for a street setup. Either get softer springs or add weight to your car (i.e. this is why it rides better with more people in the car).

It could also be that you have lowered the car too much and it's riding on the bump stops. Bump stops are essentially really stiff springs so that would also explain why the car rides better with more weight.

BTW - all Tokico products suck IMO. Get Koni's or a full coilover setup.
