OUCH! I'm not sure if my teeth are chattering from it but it seems like my brain's bouncing around!
Is there anything I can do to help get a midly softer ride? Are there are certain type of tires or PSI that I could still maintain traction but get at least a mildly softer ride? I was looking at Goodyear ComforTreads but I was unsure if the traction would counter the whole idea of getting more control with an upgraded suspension. I thought perhaps a lower PSI (like 30?) may help with a softer ride but again, I don't want to lose too much traction. What about, sometime next year probably, upgrading to coilovers? Any ideas? I was quite shocked after feeling how things changed. -------------------- digitalctrl

You think Sportlines are uncomfortable?!? I highly suggest you NEVER consider using any other drop spring then - Sportlines are really comfortable - try TEINS if you want bumpy/uncomfortable.
Perhaps you have 18" wheels or old struts? I'd think those were more your issue and the drop just made it more obvious? --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM)  Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
