Hey guys my car rides really really ruff. I have KYB struts up front and the best pepboys shocks in the back, i think there gabrial proryders. Well is there anything I can do to improve my ride a bit. I'm guessing lowering springs would make it alot worse right? Oh yea i have ws6 if it mattters. thanks

 

Any suspension upgrade that you make will make your car ride harder. You are stiffening the suspension and taking out any "play" or flex that the stock pieces have. Whenever something becomes more rigid (your suspension) you transfer any vibrations a lot easier. You lose most of the dampening affects that your stock pieces have. But who cares about ride quility when you can turn 1g.

 

get some springs from an RS, they are pretty soft

 

if the ride is harsh going over bumps, its your choice of shocks. KYB's and gabriels are inexpensive and as a result have inferior high speed damping characteristics, basically they hydraulic lock when compressed quickly. if you want a good ride get tokico hp's

 

Well put, when it comes to shocks/struts, you get what you pay for.

 

i think that is why my car rides so bad im gonna go with bilsteins
