Worn out factory ride compared to ride w 1"or2" drop

[psycho6cyl]

My car is 100% street w horrible nyc roads. I need shocks and springs,and will prob do fron rear sway. I am worried about ride. Do the drop suspensions give a harsher ride-ya know ya hit a bumpn ya head bobbles. I guess i see lots of dropped suspen on imports and see how they ride and fearful of that. Its easy to break the bank here which im not looking to do. naturally i know u cant really do all this on a 500$ budget. so what are some options. Was heavily debating dee but gotta measure my ride height now. Also coilovers looked like a nice option. Im stuck with options once again and just wi=ondering on real world exp tia

the dse spring+shock combo rides really well. You will be right around $700 for a front and rear setup.

You won't be diassapointed with the DSE set up. I have it on my car and its awesome. Handles like crazy and still rides well.

This is how my car looked with the dse setup.

The average tr will be slightly lower up front because I am a lot lighter than most.

Are you running a gront moint or slic

hello; Psycho6 That's exactly what I was going to ask. I think it should be a given when showing new suspension views to also add tire,rim size.

I have the Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks, ride is retty much the same on 15" tires as stock except missing the squishy uncontrolled floaty feeling. Drag radials soften it even a bit more. The big change comes when the 17's go on . . . instantly the ride becomes more harsh.
