Default How to get a smoother ride.

I have koni yellow ground control, eibach springs, and top hats on my 95 hatch, it's a major improvement from the stock ****, but what else can I do to it to get the smoothest ride possible? I was thinking about getting a skunk 2 camper kit, but that wouldn't really help with the smoothness. I lowered it 2 inches, I'm not tryna be Mr. Super Slammed, I just want the best ride out of my hatch.

Default Re: How to get a smoother ride.

Hate to break it to you buddy but the "smoothest" ride would be considered OEM stock.

A good way to start off your thread would be with a couple questions:
-How man miles on your current setup, where is the softness setting(s)? Struts aren't blown right?
-you said 2" lowered...thats pretty damn low man, and will definitely decrease what you consider to be "smooth." You have pics of the car?
-What size wheel are you running? Smoother ride= Smaller wheel, higher profile tire Your not running 17's right?

Some people just aren't cut out for coil over type setups, I know I'm not.

To be honest your current setup should ride pretty smooth.

From what I read it appears you need to do some soul searching, perhaps OEM type struts and tein h tech springs (or something comparable) would suite your needs better???
