want her to glide

new engine runs great, exhaust puts out a phenomonal roar, shes quick off the line and makes me smile with the turn of a key.... the wife however constantly complains about how bumpy of a ride it is. my firebird handles incredibly, but is too rough to cruise in. Im just gunna start over. Need advice on springs coils bushings bearings the whole nine yards. the best place to ask is here.

Sure it is.....turn key.....back out of driveway.....punch the gas. That simple.

It's "the coming back home" part that get's tricky.

Re: want her to glide

Eibach Sportlines are progressive, so the beginning is comparatively smooth. Never going to get away from having a rear axle... unless of course you are over the top and put in irs.
