dude trash that stupid video. any cam inside a car will make it seem super bumpy. plus i bet the car is slamed as low as it can be. springs need time to settle in. its gonna be a lil bumpy at first. shit i got maxspeed coilovers and my car is dumped and its bumpy at times but not that bad. if you dont want bumpy or stiff then dont mod the suspension. and if your road are that bad i would invest in somthing better than just coilovers.

yeah, i got some skunk2 pro-c full suspension and at first the ride was really stiff. but after a while it got way better, and i live in chicago and let me tell you we have some of the worst roads in the country. but when you get on a nice smooth road its like heaven.

If you dont want a bumpy ride get softer spring rates.
Your best bet would be to get Ground Control Coilovers one Koni yellows with the top hats.
You should be just fine with the standard OTS parts.

I have to agree with Greasedmonkey... that would probably be your best bet. Otherwise, B&G is really good. They ride pretty much like factory. My brother has the new Pro-C's on his car and they are pretty stiff even on the softest setting.

I dont bother if it will be a bit stiff but I dont wont to get a bumpy ride that makes you vomit when you ride it.

Yup I saw that but I need some opinions seems that Pro S are better since Pro C springs are more aggressive but I am not that keen on shocks and springs, so i ll appreciate your opinions.
