26691, what's the point................shock, struts, and hard bumps etc... Posted by jsupetran, Jul-15-02 05:59 PM
with eibach prokit, the handling is a little on the harsh side. there's no way i'm going stock again but how can i get a better ride on rough roads (theres'uneven ground on freeway for example)? will better (and costlier) tokico adjustables or other 500-600 dollar set-ups help handle those hard road surfaces and absorb alot of the hard shocks.
edit: DAMN I REALIZED I POSTED IN THE WRONG FORUM (LACK OF SLEEP) MODERATORS, PLEASE MOVE ME TO HANDLING FORUM.

basically thats how its gonna be, you can adjust dampening on the adjustable shocks but thats pretty much it, its basically because of higher spring rates and the decreased shock travel. You will get used to it, I hated it at first and now I love it, the handling is much better now. and when your not on bumpy roads its like riding on rails.

To be a true playa you must know how to play. Lowering a car wasn''t intentionally a cosmetic mod. And performance suspension setups are not meant to be a comfy ride. They are meant to serve their function. With an awesome suspension you will feel all the bumps but you will turn like a mofo n whatnot. You gotta give a lil to get a lil n all dat jazz. :thumbsup

so basically, spending 600 on new struts and shocks won't add anything on my car's comfort level. oh well, at least i won't have to spend that much money.

That is the way it's going to be I spent over 1000 on my setup my car is so low i can tell u the flavor of bubble I run over. The only way to get a good ride with loweredness is airbags but thouse setups are over 1500, and peformace is toilet water. I love my setup, you'll get use to it.
