Its still going to ride stiff. Thats what these lowering springs and after market struts are about. Stiffening up the suspension and lowering the car. If you want soft then stay with OEM.

Try sticking your finger in an electical outlet, or maybe short out the battery in your car with a wrench.

I have STechs and Illuminas. The Illuminas are pretty much the best shock/strut you can purchase. But at $408 for all 4 they are pricey.
