Get KYB's and Progress springs. That should firm up the ride

Coilover suspension upgrade time.

Or cheap out and toss in one of those rubber rings to increase ride height by an inch. Pepboys style yo.

I would not recommend coilover's for NYC streets, just my opinion.

If I was you (and you can afford it) I would get the 8 way adjustable KYB rear shocks. Trust me, on the highest setting you won't have to worry about the rear end going down. Add another sub...turn it up, remove the sub altogether-turn 'er down. The best of all worlds!

I thought springs controlled ride height and shocks controlled compression and rebound rates?

Remember, it's when he hits bumps that the suspension bottoms out. He can have bad shocks or shocks that are too soft. It is however true that the springs control static ride height. Assuming he is on OEM springs this is what he needs to do (buy adjustable shocks).

If he is on lowered/shorter springs he needs to go back to OEM springs.
