Most COMFORTABLE ride

hey, i am really sick of the LX's bumpy suspension. it handles well, but i was looking for a different set-up. i was considering the tokicos + eibach pros. i'm looking for comfort. anyone have any ideas?

if you think your suspension is bumpy, any modification you do will seem worse.

I think begin able to take turns more than double the suggested speed is comfortable to me, but my back complains from time to time.

Here. Scroll down to see prices. Any package that uses the Special D (Reds) are for you.

In all honesty, this is the only way you will be able to soften your ride. Although I don't know if 13" wheels will actually fit... Try some 15" wheels and all season touring tires designed for comfort. Look at what kind of tires come on a buick and try and find those in your size.

any aftermarket spring is going to be stiffer then then stock ones. You will not get a more "comfortable" ride by replacing stock suspension components.

After all that advice on springs you still think after market springs will help any on comfort?

Cut your stock springs, let the struts blow and it will ride like it's on water.
