Am I being a puss?

ProStreet · 10-30-2006, 12:29 AM

I have a 07 Si, and the ride is kinda bumpy

Normally, I don't care, I also have a hatch that rides like ass, but I bough my Si so I can have a newer more comfortable car.

I do want to lower it, and was thinking of stechs. Does it ride any worse or better with the stech? How about eibachs?

How dumb would it be to get non si stock shocks, and stechs?

*ducks the flames*

lowering springs and stock shocks will make your ride worse. id recommend coils for performance/look *if thats what your going for*

It may be the fact that the car comes stock with pretty low-profile tires so you will feel/hear every bump in the road.

hey buddy, currently im running on s-techs and no complaints so far *thumbs up* and i havent heared any complaints from any1 else on the site, speeddemon is running the eibachs and seem pretty good too it all depends on how much of a drop you want and what brand you prefer.. ride quality is just about the same as stock just a tad bit stiffer, probably about the same you would get from the hfp suspension. here are two pics so that you can compare ride height between s-techs and eibachs(mine is silver)

^ Silver is S.Techs? White is HFP ? white looks hella lower.

by using progressive rate springs in the mid to lower 200lbs/in range, you will
get a softer ride than stock and lower stance.

usually S-Techs and Prokits can achieve that over stock dampers.
