I want more comfort over handling. :nice: But not sloppy like a Buick. :notnice:

Any suggestions for the most comfortable ride out of these three? Also, would the FMS springs or the Bullitt springs be more comfortable than the BBk springs that I am currently running?
 
If you want comfort over handling, go with stock replacements. The others are for improved handling and therefore are probably gonna be stiffer than what u r looking 4. You can try the adj (Illuminas) and set them to the softest setting I guess.

The most comfortable ride I ever had was this fat chick I dated once! But as far as shocks go I'd vote for the Tokico "Blues".

Nice Kill :nice:

Are the 'Blues' the Premium Performance(the base line non adjustable)?

Dude, I have the KYB non adj. and they ride like a tank...I guess anything softer then those will be a vast improvement.
My brother has an '01 Bullitt and I think that car handles and rides like a dream. My car, handles like it's on rails, but rides like a Deuce and half. So, if Tokico struts/shocks will make my car ride like my bro's Bullitt, then that will definitely put wood in my pants and a smile on my face!

Yes, they're the entry level non-adjustable Tokicos. I have them om my '96 and they ride and handle WAY better than the stockers did. The stockers rode like a wagon after I lowered the car but they also had about 80,000 miles on them. I looked at all the shocks on the market before settling on these. If you want a better handling I'd suggest looking around for another brand. But if you want a combination of a super smooth ride and an upgrade in handling over the stockers then check them out.
 
Thanks man! I also love the price compared to the other choices. Do you think the Illuminas or the Koni Reds can be adjusted to softer than the HPs? So, if for daily driving I set them to super soft, and then when I get frisky I can dial 'em up?!?!
