My car is already lowered but is in dier need of new suspension i feel lik im driving a tank its so bad. Any ways my queston is what should I do to better my suspension?


Iv been thinking air ride but its a bit costly what are my other options? I want a softer ride with the same lowered stance

1 air ride the best, but with being the best you pay for it

2 coil overs, intense sells them also pretty pricey

3 agx adjustible struts

4 gr2's

AGXs won't soften the ride they'll only help to control pogo from the stiffer springs.

Unfortunately with the GP you can only have comfort or performance. If you try to combine the two one is going to be severly lacking.

oh, i thought i heard somewhere that the agx was the better of the struts to go with for lowering..well, i guess that doesnt mean the most comfortable, just the best pogo fighter...

if you get air ride, you better know how to replace axles or have some deep pockets to pay someone to change them.

You will be breaking them left, right and center.

I heard coilovers for our cars suck and they are very expensive.
