I currently have FRPP C springs with a dead coil cut off of the rear (1 coil), and it gives me a headache when the roads are bumpy. I noticed a much harsher ride when I switched to 18" wheels (tires may have something to do with it; got the cheapest sumis off of tirerack) and was wondering how much of a difference springs would make. I read that Prokits give stock like ride quality while giving a lowered stance, and less body roll, but came across a good dead on Steeda Sports.

I am running no isolators and Tokico blues. Suspension setup has less than 20k miles. 35 psi all around. Would lowering it give a softer ride?

Get dunlop sp sports next time, they are a good cheap tire to go with. The sumi's tires wear down the road, they are the main cause why your ride is so harsh

Pro kit's are closer to stock than any other spring, besides the C springs. Go with those so you don't lose any 60' time.

Eibach Pro Kit springs are progressive and not linear rate. I'm not sure what Steeda Sports is but if it isn't progressive, then I wouldn't take it over the Eibach.

I have ProKit on my 01 Cobra and do not notive any ride quality differences. It rides great and corners well. I have not tried the Steeda, so I can not answer for those. I can only tell you that I love the ProKit.

That doesn't matter. The pro kit is still the closest thing to stock. You install H&Rs and your going to loose TONS of 60' time. But hey, maybe your not into draging?

Which ones are lowering the car more? The pro kit or the sportlines?
