Most comfortable suspension

By gijoe985
- Mon Dec 23, 2013 1:15 pm #340434 So, my car is in need of new shocks/struts. It is my 175 mile per day commuter car, so, even though a little lower ride would be cool, my main concern is a comfortable ride. Looking cool means a little bit less when you are in your car that much. Anyway, I don't have a ton of money to spend, but thought you guys might have some suggestions.

Is buying stock replacements the best way to go? Is there an aftermarket setup that has a soft ride?

Thanks


P.s. is there an easy way to tell the difference between a stock front and rear spring from a hatchback? I know on coupes they look much different, but hatch ones look very similar to me.

My dampers are set on the stiffest setting though since i'm so low but he paid 250 bucks total for a decent coilover setup and he could lower his car as low as he wanted without the struts bottoming out. he had the gold ones in case you're wondering.

they are pretty awesome for the price man. anyone on stock struts that doesn't want to buy a 600-1000 dollar coilover setup should really look in to them. I've got a few friends riding on them. some opted to buy name brand coilover sleeves and some bought ebay sleeves for 50 bucks. the ebay stuff on loteks are just as good as the name brand stuff. just depends on whether you are the "jdm" brand name fan boy or not...so far, this is the only forum I've been on that I haven't gotten bashed for cheaper parts.
