Does anyone have aspec springs with stock shocks setup?

Does anyone have aspec springs with stock shocks setup? I am tempted to try this because the full aspec suspension does not work well with imperfect roads. bounciness and just too rough at times. anyone ever try this combo?

that is not..

true. i am not sure what roads you drive on. but any setup will feel rough on pot hole roads. it is a trade off better handling or float on a cloud. i love my aspec setup!

I would have to agree. There is no bounciness on rough roads. The ride is firm and flat and definitely rougher than stock, but a great compromise between lux ride and good handling. I've been nothing but happy with the ASpec setup.

I agree with this. Cleveland roads are BAD and I had a fairly compliant ride with my A-Spec'd RL. My wife never complained about a rough ride and she is sensitive to such.

Of course LA roads are notorious for their waviness. Honda even has a copy of certain sections of the 405 or the 110, can't remember which, on their test tracks because the wavy concrete in combination with a certain wheelbase range and suspension set up in the '70s caused real ride problems.

I would have to research it for sure,
