Default H&R springs with which shocks?????

OK I just ordered some H&R springs for my GS, because I like the drop that it's gonna have, and I am willing to give up some of the luxury ride, but anyone have any advice on how to retain some of it because I will end up getting some 19 inch rims and I know that's really gonna make it ride rough, but some people say that it rides good others say it rides bad, so which shocks would be good for the H&R?? can L-tuned shocks handle that drop? does anyone know the stiffness of shocks, in order from softest to hardest, and one more thing is if anyone knows how it is with 19's or 20's and stiffer springs and shocks, does the inside of the car rattle alot or really shake u up? thanks

The most popular setup with H&R sport springs is with Bilstein shocks.

You should go with L-Tuned...
As for them handling the drop, don't worry about it.. It's not like your dropping the car 3.5" Let us know what you decide..

it's gonna be a tough call, im browsing right now and trying to think on which shocks to order, will the L-tuned shocks let it ride pretty nice? and Could the moderators do me a favor and move this to the GS section to get more attention, I was gonna do that at first but thought that I should try it here first, thanks

hey, just leave it here. more threads here spread the attention. i always go to all three and am sure many others here do as well.

i recall gs4will saying the l-tuned shocks were only about $225 right now or something. pretty good price. bilsteins were about $425 from will or something?

in terms of ride quality, you need to pay attenton to both spring rate and shock rate too...

with your requirement, stay with l-tuned shocks
