Ride Improvement from Shocks?
I got a question for ya guys. How big of an improvement in the ride do good shocks make. Right now I have Nuespeed Race springs on stock shocks right now, and it rides pretty rough. What all can I do to improve the ride in terms of feeling the bumps other than getting new springs.

shocks determines ride quality by dampening rebound and load. Springs determines ride performance. Stiffer springs for more aggressive cornering. and stiffer shocks for more dampen the siff springs tendency to rebound more. so to answer your question yes. good shocks in combo with stiff spring will add to you ride quality.

Good shocks can make a world of difference. I just installed some h&r sports and I already had konis and the ride was decent. I adjusted the konis and the ride is great. It is VERY firm so you know when you hit a big bump, but very smooth. Smoth as stock on decent roads.

couldn't agree more. good struts can make or break your ride comfort and handling.
