Currently running just skunk2 lowering springs on a 93 eg and the ride is terrible the smallest divet in the road is felt. I just came into 400 bucks and im wondering what can i do with that to make the ride better. Thanks

TunerN00b

Buy a used stock suspension and bolt it on, then get an alignment.

For anything else, the answer is "Save another $600, then do it properly. If you need help deciding how to do that, at least provide some information for people to use.".

Just wanted to know what i should buy... so save another 600 and buy what setup?

B_Swapped93

so you're running 2.25/2.00 drop springs on stock shocks ? if so that would explain the **** ride.

Mugewhore

Check out the progress susepension they offer in the sponsor market they look fantastic and and awesome price

ElectronBlue00

Yeah... what B_swapped said. Too low of a drop for stock shocks.

If you're going to drop it that low, upgrade your shocks.

I personally would NOT lower a car with out upgrading your shocks, but there are those who have done it and had decent ride quality.

Check out Tein Lowering springs. 1.9/1.7 inch drop if you insist on keeping your stock shocks....

Racelands. Not anything I would put on any car but it's in your budget.

What part of "at least provide some information for people to use" isn't English?

What do you intend to do with the car?
Road conditions in your normally driven areas?
Desired ride height?
Personal tolerance for suspension stiffness?
Personal preferences for shock damping characteristics?
Intended driving characteristics?
Other suspension modifications done on the car?
etc...

What you should do is go back to stock. All you've stated is that you don't like the ride quality. Stock will be the "best" ride quality (for the average driver, which we have to assume you are since no other information was provided). If that isn't what you actually want, then actually provide information on what you do want.

^ BAM. Do as TunerN00b suggests ... unless you don't actually want advice, that is.

You should just go lease an element.

Put it into a savings account and sit on it for a while

So if i upgrade my shocks and keep the skunk2 springs will the ride noticably improve?

Not really. All I ever heard was that Skunk2 was very harsh. And why do you not want to answer any of the questions in post #8?

Car is a dd and dont plan on taking it to the track
Driving conditions are toronto streeets which are terrible
2" drop is what i have and would like to keep it
Would like it to be not so stiff so i dont feel every bump and crack in the road
Driving characteristics are average the random highway pulls and the odd launch no highspeed turns
No other suspension mods other than gettin a set of lcas

instrument

Two inch drop but comfortable and on a budget..........

You can have two of those.....but not all threee...sorry.

Ifyou skip the budget part get koni yellows, some extended top hats and a set of 350 lb springs from gc, 8 inch.

sleepyaccord96

i threw my skunk2 springs away and installed ST suspensions 2" drop springs with kyb gr-2's and my ride quality is excellent and 5x better than s2

sleepyaccord96

what doe the extended top hats dO?

grumblemarc

Increase shock travel wen you're slammed and would otherwise have none.

sleepyaccord96

i wonder if this would benefit a car like mine with NON adjustable springs/struts... i just have st springs and kybs

How low?

TunerN00b

This is entirely correct:
I would almost give this advice, but my suggestion would be slightly stiffer up front and softer in the rear. More like 400/300 or 450/300. Also, only bother with extended upper shock mounts up front, no need to buy for all 4 corners.
And honestly, GC sleeves, Koni Sports (Yellows), and a pair of extended upper shock mounts is a budget suspension. There's cheap ****, which you can get for under $600, budget suspensions around the $800 - $1500 range, and then the good but expensive stuff above that...

dafreeeze

I see so i guess il be saving next paycheck and grabbin a set of koni yellows. I recently got an alignment like two weeks ago.
After installin the new setup would it be best to get another alignment or is it not needed

sleepyaccord96

2" dropped maybe 2.25" ish
