Guys I have the b springs in my car and it rides too hard for me. What shocks are you guys running with lowering springs? I want to make this thing ride like a cadilac, lol.

Bilstein w/H&R Sport- They are a bit more expensive but you will NOT be dissapointed.

It'll never ride like a Caddy with those springs in it. They're designed to be very firm. You could try some 4 cylinder springs with good shocks.

Yeah, do not go HR if you want a soft ride. I have HR race and I think I've shaken loose a kidney stone or something.

i've got the same ones. good ride, but pretty firm. i've been thinking about getting some adjustable struts for the front to help with weight transfer some

Strange 10 way struts are what I have. I recently went for a ride in a stock suspension Mustang and mine doesn't ride anywhere near stock. But then mine doesn't lean over in the corners like stock either.
