Softening Suspension??

This is my first Honda/Acura car. I have the FWD, with 11,300 miles on it, great car, I love it. the suspension seems to be really softening up a lot. Is this normal for Honda, or is it just that I'm getting more used to it. Thanks for any feed back.

Personally, I've not noticed my Hondas or Acuras softening to the point where I notice it. There's invariably some settling in, but nothing in my experience that changes the characteristics of the ride and handling. That's been my experience with 2 Acura TLs and 7 Hondas, mostly Accords. If your car has changed that noticeably I would have the dealer inspect the suspension components.

Ive had 2 accords and this is my second 2TL. I had to get coilovers for all of my previous ones because you have to go very slow when you drive in a dip because your car will almost definitely scrape. Stock is very comfortable, but
too soft for my taste.

its is probably you getting used to it, if anything it should be getting a bit harsher since there is wear and tear on the shocks and springs from them constantly moving around. i suggest that you check your tire pressures to make sure they are up to spec.

Holy shnike, 11,300 miles already? Wow. Anyway, I had a similar feeling with my 3G TL. After a year, the suspension felt loose. I thought that was just normal?
