mmm.. i would say tein keeps the best ride quality. Just don't get too high of a spring rate, get one similar to the stock ones and you'll be fine.

I had the same delima and are settling for the tein s techs, still workin on the shocks. Everyone i have talked to though, especially here gives any tein product good reviews. My rsx should be dropped by the end of next week. I will post pics and let everyone know how it rides.

...have either of you given a look at the pro-kit from eibach. For a mild drop and stockish (better handling) ride they can't be beat IMO

i was thinkin some ground controls with shocks. but what shocks do you think would help keep a smooth ride. she keeps complaining she wants to drop her car but then cries that its gonna ride like **** cuz shes been in our friends cars. damn women.

if you really want a soft ride and a nice look best one to get is eibach pro kit. any sleeve type coilover will bounce because people always try to save money and use stock shocks. I would get pro kit. I've always used that if someone didn't want to loose that much ride quality. I've put in like 20 + eibach springs. all of them are friends and no complaints.

she wants adjustable so it can be where she wants it and were gonna get shocks and coilovers at the same time. she just wants the smoothest ride possible with height adjustability

the lower you go the more bouncing you are going to get. I don't reccommend coilovers unless you get teins. just get the Type Basic or the ss

yeah i was thinkin bout the basics too. you can find good deals on them. i think ss's are a little out of price range unless i can find a good price. do you know how the ride quality is on the basics.

For the softest ride quality you can always try the tanabe sustec line.

For the closest to stock sans the adjustability I'd go with the mugen SS. I have them on my rsx and it actually makes the ride feel better.
