Lowering a tib but keeping stock like ride quality
Hi everyone
Are there lowering springs I can get that will lower the car down and help in handling but keep a stock like ride quality? I ridden as a passenger in a few friends cars that were lowered and you feel every bump in the road and they bounce around alot. I would like to try and avoid that kind of ride quality if possible but still have all the benefits of having a lowered vehicle. Thank you for your help.

Its the tires/wheels that make it a bumpy ride.
Bigger wheels means less sidewall.
I love my car on stock wheels with a 1.5 drop all around
With the 17's on, yea, you feel more and hear more.
If i could (wanted to) do it again, i'd put 16's on

When I installed eibach pro kit springs on my tiburon, there wasn't too much difference in ride quality. It still had the soft stock like feel to it. When I installed h&r springs the ride became very stiff and passengers complained on long drives so I increased my tire size from 205/45 r16 to 205/50 16 which helped out a lot.

i had Vogtland springs on my RD1 and the ride quality was awesome and right now i have H&R springs on my GK and it feels really good too. they both have a drop of around 1.4" f/r.
