Hi,

I live in montreal and the roads here suck, but what concerns me more is how my car THUMPS (REALLY LOUD) and then, if the pot-hole's big enough, my abs will take off like if i were slipping on ice. Is this a sign of bad suspension.

If it is, i would like to get this replaced. What parts do i need when replacing a suspension (looking aftermarket parts, forget getting stocks)

Can you please inform me of all the part i need, what the best brands are for the offered price, what the prices are, and how do i know if my mechanic is ripping me off. If i were to give myself a grade on 10 of how much i know about cars, i would 3-4/10, so how hard would it be do it myself?

thanks in advance



My car is an Acura 1.6EL, 1998
