Best 1inch Lowering Springs, Re-doing my suspension ....again Options

[UTSlickVic]

Hi all,

Once again my suspension is just utter ****. 8-9 years ago I started off with Eibach ProKit Springs (1inch drop), with stock struts. Those road fine but noticed the travel of the suspension was causing my tires to bottom. Ok, so I wanted some stiffer aftermarket struts.... order blistein struts; bad choice. Waaay to stiff and always klunking (and yes replaced the strut mounts). At this point I don't know what to blame the springs or the struts..... but enough is enough.

I would like to have my suspension feel "stock" (i.e not stiff), without changing my ride height from the 1" drop. I realize that having 18" wheels introduces it's own problems, I accept that.
So my plan is to order either KYB or Monroe struts, and replace my springs with 1" drop aftermarket springs. The problem is Eibach doesn't make the 1" drop ProKit Springs anymore. So, does anyone have recommendations on a Very Good aftermarket spring brand (that offers 1" drop)? Want a brand that'll last for years and not give me a "harsh" ride quality.

If this makes a night/day difference, I'll proceed to replace all the suspension bushings (no poly... just new stock parts).

Thanks,

It would just vary from brand to brand, and I never had coil-overs on mine. Plenty of people here have them though and some even have tried multiple sets, so they'd be the ones to ask for sure. There are the TRD springs, but they can be hard to find. Part of the problem is/could be the 18" rims and the tire that's on them as well. You wouldn't think tires would make that big of a difference, but they do. Another thing could be your seats, if they're worn out they'll just make it worse. I had Tein springs with KYB struts and it rode rough with the stock seats, once I put in newer seats from an anniversary car it was much better.
