Does anyone know if the suspension on a 2012 Acord v6 ex-l has issues or is it just mine? I feel every bump on the road. I read that the seats are known to be uncomfortable, which mine are, but thinking there is something wrong with my suspension. I replaced the shocks and struts with Monroe, but have since read there are better shocks/struts. Any ideas? Thanks!

Koni FSDs, Bilstein, KYB. The 8th gen has decent suspension unless you're into better handling qualities than stock. OEM struts are decent. I'd never use Monroe. I'm happy with Konis.

207k on my original OEM suspension (minus new ball joints and tie rod end links), and the handling is still tight and firm, but it definitely absorbs bumps well. I'd avoid Monroe like the plague. All of the brands @slimm1469 are worth exploring.

Thanks slimm for the product advise...
