H&R / Bilstein Sports FTW ! I'm gonna look into some KW Club Sports in the future tho... for tracking / auto X, but this is great for now.
It rides stiffer than stock, but smoother. It takes the harshness out of sharp bumps... Personally I feel it rides a lot nicer than stock.
If you want smooth buttery suspension... buy a Cadillac !!!!
From what I understand.... The reason you want to upgrade the shocks to a version for lowered springs is because when the ride height is lower, it affects where in the travel the valving is. A stock shock is valved to work at the stock height, not 1 3/4 to 2" lower. So lowered, the shock is compressed at ride height before it's even working, which will make it ride harsher because the fluid is at higher compression.
Make sense ?
