Hi! After reading some threads about 3gs springs I've come to the conclusion that everyone lowers their car when they get rid of the factory springs. I don't want to lower my car, but I would like to have a better ride quality. Better=soft but minimum body roll.

Ideas anyone?

 

That is a tough ask. There are compromises with suspension and we can't have it all. I can tell you from my experience of NF-210 tanabe springs that the lowering was minimal (car looks a little lowered but at car meets everyone thinks I am stock) The ride is significantly better and not harsh at all. You can see my post about the springs (which I bet you have already read) I don't have any issues going in and out of car parks etc. It basically feels like what the car should of been from factory. Still satisfied with the springs after all these years. My 2 cents.

Have you thought of simply upgrading sway bars? You will keep the stock springs and ride but will reduce body roll.

 

Thanks and yes I read your Tanabe spring thread. Your car looks good and I believe your car rides about the same how I'd like mine to ride too. The problem with lowering however isn't with the looks or speed bumps but some unpaved roads and harsh winter conditions. I'd like to keep all possible ground clearance if it's possible.

I read some threads about sway bars too and I do like the idea. But since I live in Europe I'm not sure where and what kind of bars I should consider and how much would they cost. I'm open for recommendations about sway bars too.

 

Air ride perhaps?
