hey everyone
i need some help
i have some coilovers on my car and all and its lowered a lil bit. my ride quality is better than most lowered cars but i was wondering how do i make it smooth. my car is rather bumpy and it gets aggrivating at times. it even seems worse in the mornings. what kinds of shocks do i need to get my car smooth. any help would be apreciated.

Coil overs and lowering springs have a higher spring rate thus a stiffer ride, there isn't much you can do about it. Best bet would be to get some adjustable shocks and find a setting that fiots you the best.

unless you spend a ton of money on them, my opinion is coilovers sucks, thats why most ondas you see just bounce around

intake, 2.5 exhaust w/gst muffler, pacesetter header, msd wires, ngk plugs, port and polish throttlebody, front and rear strut bars, 1.5' tenzo springs, 17" primax rims, kuhmo tires, leather interior, gsx sideskirts, BM shortshifter, GM fluid in trans...

that's just the nature of coilovers. if you want a smoother ride you should just get springs. coilovers are not worth it IMO, unless you really LOVE to change your height all the time

for the most part coils will ride worse than lowering springs. except for the all out race $2,000 a set ones.

if your still on stock wheels than you can get better tires. that will help your ride quality out. if your on 17's or more there's not much you can do because you're eliminating sidewall.

other than that struts would make a difference. tokico illuminas are 5 way adjustable so in theory they have a neutral setting 2 softs and 2 hards. those or koni yellows would be your best bet.
