Whats a good suspension?
I definantly want to lower my car soon, I know I'm going to get KYB AGX's but don't know which springs to get. I want a comfortable ride, not to firm, but firm when I want it to be depending on how I adjust the struts. My buddy whos smart with cars recommended I get coilovers. What do you guys recommend. I'm in the Central, NJ region so I don't want my struts to be blowing. What other components should I change while changing my suspension. Wheres a good place to buy all this? Thanks!

P.S. All coilovers ride really rough.

Hey Drew, very, very, very nice car man. I got the same color as you lol. So I'm guessing according to that link that KYB AGX's, and Progress springs are the best way to go? How much lower will the Progress Springs make my car? Whats some good, reputable places to buy this setup, and where to get it installed, at Tom's shop in Elmwood Park?

Depends on what you're looking for. I want the best handling, so I got Eibach. If you want the softest, go H&R. Lowest go Sprint (or coilovers). Progress is middle ground.

All the cheapest places to buy them is on that page.

I have a set of JICs for sale if you're interested, or a set of Japanese race spec coilovers your choice

the JICs are brand new in box, the others I've had them on for about 2-3 months and less than 600 miles on them (I dont drive my non registered street beast)

I don't want a rough ride though, I want a nice firm ride, and also a soft ride depending on how I adjust the struts. I know I'm definantly going to go with KYB AGX's Custommaxima has 'em for $380 thats cheap, but I'm still trying to figure out which springs to get :-\...

H&R Springs
Front - Tokico Blue Struts
Rear - AGX shcoks(set low 1 or 2)

That ride is nothing short of sweet!
Close, if not smoother then stock.
