Ive never heard of "import ride". How much did they cost? Aftermarket shocks would help but if they were cheap coilovers then it's probably that the spring on the coilovers is not the correct spring rate for your car.

I reccomend Tokicos...if you dont know much about suspension (as I dont) then just get the Tokico blues. Those are the non adjustable ones and if you're not racing then you really wont need to adjust them.

When you replace your shocks, I reccomend buying some quality coilovers too...beleive me, the spring rate will make a difference. Chances are that the brand you own uses the same spring rate for every car application.

You can get Ground Control coilovers and Tokico blues for $580 shipped on from Ground Control.

The best thing would of probably been to buy some Ground Control or some Skunk2, and slap them with Tokico Illumina's or Koni Yellows...

My set up is Skunk2 and Tokico Illumina's and I simply love it.

Forget all that wild jazz, when you are ready to race just sell that crap and get yourself Teins and you're set.
