hi,
i`ve had my tib for 5yrs now,& need to replace clutch again as it appears it wasn`t installed properly. Since i`m going to be fixing this, i`d like to improve the ride as it has always been very clunky even when i first purchased it.I know sport suspension usually means sacrificing comfort, but wondering if any advancements have been made in this area.
thanks

alot of options depending on your budget...
I have eibach and KYB struts and is a popular choice on site
you can get coilovers either Ksport or H&R
you can get H&R sport cup kit drops the car 2.0 and 1.75 or Touring Kit 1.6/1.5, both of these come with strut and springs
everything depends on your budget

I actually used gabriel shocks with my Eibach Pro kit, and so far, got about 40k on them and they still seem to be holding up strong. The gabriels were REALLY inexpensive, so I figured what the hell. Got them in a promo: buy 2 get 2 free. Granted, I normally only drive the tib in the summer, so they see very minimal pothole abuse. FYI.
What size rims you got? I went from 18's to 17's and noticed a huge difference in ride quality. If I didnt love my rims I have now, I would even consider going 16's to help in that department.
