Tokico blues + Eibach springs

Is it just me or dose anyone else have this setup and think the car rides rough.
I'm not saying I don't like it it handles great but it just kinda rough.

Any time you increase handling via suspension mods..you lose some comfort..

Eibach springs = stiffer. Tokico shocks = moderately stiffer

Conclusion = should ride _____?

That's exactly the set up I have and I think it is perfect. Like Greeny and Jeff said, you are going to lose some comfort when you increase the stiffness.

It is stiffer than stock, but IMO, stock is a little bit soft. It rides a lot better than a lot of other lowered cars I have ridden in.

I guess I am used to driving a 4x4, so pretty much any car seems pretty cushy.

I personally liked it. Throw some Koni's at half way in and it will be softer.

I have a CRX with the same setup on it and I think the Maxima handles better. Oh and thanks for all the replys.

i have eibach's with KYB GR-2 shocks and its an alright ride but i would rather much have koni redds instead of the KYB's. but yeah compaired to stock ride which my friend with a stock 92 se VE5 noticed a major difference when he drove my 93 max with suspension mods and compaired it to his stock max. he could tell the difference in suspension and how much it makes.
