ride quality

i have a 99 gxe 5 speed stock suspensing and 15's how would the ride quality change if i went to 17's possibly H&R's and AGX's?
i want to improve the handling and lower it abit but ride quality is important to me.

ride quality

I have yet to install my suspension components but from what I have read on this forum, H&R deliver good performance with near stock ride characteristics when compared to other aftermarket springs. A nice thing about the AGX's is that they are adjustable so they can be made somewhat soft, but still will be stiffer than stock. The wheels will probably make ride a little harsher depending on the tires and wheels you get. my.02

I would say search, BUT it's a bit difficult searching for 3 characters (e.g., H&R, B&G, etc) because the search engine won't compute

I know coz I've tried. This has been discussed a million times, I would suggest you try different search parameters, e.g., springs, shocks, ride quality, etc.

Good luck searching, I'd answer but I'm still riding on stock suspension, so I have no experience. Sorry

I have H&R with tokicos and 17s. The ride is not that bad. Definatelt not as good as stock but thats what you would expect. If you are going for AGXs then you ride should be better. Seems like ride comfort is a big issue for you. Just set the Agx to the softest settings and with the H&Rs you'll be fine.
