Default lowering springs / terrible noise!

i've had about enough of this suspension. its really getting to me anymore. my car is on KYB AGX, and H&R RACE srprings and its just to low for comfort. i live in ohio where the roads are just about the worst in the country..lol every little bump in the road, the car sounds like the suspension is bottoming out due to lack of spring rate. do all springs do this? its a really loud clunck, and i had the car inspected thinking it was something wrong, and i just put the AGX struts on a week ago, and that hasnt helped at all with the noise. if anything i think it makes the car look lower

i bought the car with the springs on it, 2-2.5" of a drop is way to much for me, im looking for something alittle more comfortable at a resonable price. anyone have any idea? everything is appriciated!

If you're looking for comfort, put a set of stock springs on your AGX shocks.

BTW, nice altezzas.

Look into H&R sport springs I got them on my teg along with koni yellows and love them. the drop is i think 1.5F and 1.75R no wheel gap and little to no scraping.

with these race springs, my i cant see he top of my tires, they are pretty well up in there.. id say atleast .5 - 1in that you cant see of them.. its to the point that the car can hardly be driven on the highway, becz its so rough. the constant banging cannot be good on it, especially things like balljoints and tie rod ends..

well the suspension shouldn't bang or make noise no matter how low the car is, if everything is installed properly.. this might be a stupid question but did you cut your bump stops? if you are looking for a different setup i hear ground control coil overs are pretty nice and the price isn't too bad.....they would also go good with your kyb's!!

i never cut the bump stops... would cutting them make this happen? also where can i look into getting some GC Coilovers.. although i think im more for the comfort, so i might lean more towards another set of springs..
