Default Low yet comfortable... possible?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a spring/ shock/ coilover that can lower my car a bit and give me a comfortable ride... Hopefully better than the oem feeling if possible

I'd recommend posting in one of the 5 million coil over threads on this section of the forum.

Well he asked for a soft ride. To me my suspension is perfect its too stiff for some people but its just preference. + Megans are easy on the wallet as well

How low and how soft?

We can do a custom set of BC Racing coilovers for you with "comfort" rates if that's what you're looking for.

Shoot us a PM if you'd like

no such thing low and comfy...if you want to go low you need to go hard or your tires will bottom out in the front...if you want comfy you cant go as low.

no your wrong.

Tein CST will allow you to get low and still ride about like OEM. I put a set on my dads SC430 and its low and rides very much like stock but you gotta pay to play.
