Hey can anyone help me. I'm looking to upgrage my stock suspension and I'm at a bit of a crossroads.

I'm not looking for high performance or it to be dropped really low I'm looking more for a comfortable ride and good handling. The roads are quite bumpy over here and its getting very frustrating. I was thinking of going for new shocks and springs as I here coilovers are a bit harsh.

I was looking at kyb gr2's and tein s-tech springs.

What do you think????

Well as I said the most import thing to me is the comfort of the ride. Im not really looking to lower the car that much, as long as it glides through bumps and holes I'm happy.

So Eibach sportlines and kyb gr2's are the way to go?

Definately...I used to have that set up on my 4 and it was very comfortable.....Eibach has to be my fave springs.....which is very odd as I run TRD springs now kindasad.gif
