coilovers... how do they feel?
my suspension right now is stock... i was thinking about gettin springs so i can lower my car and look better but i might as well just wait longer and get me some teins type flex... my question is how do coilovers really feel? some people told me that they feel wwaaayyy better than stock and people said it's hella stiff, a good stiff, some just say it is a horrible stiff to the point it is annoying, if i do get coilovers, i dont wanna have to slow down on rail road tracks and i dont want my ride being very bumpy on the road i might as well just stick with my stock suspension, so what kind of coilovers do you have and how do they feel?

I run the HKS hipermax's on my car..the ride pretty nice...they are stiff, but its not too bad, you get used to it after a while.
I definatly like the way they ride over the springs I used to have

it REALLY depends on the roads in your area. I have Cusco Zero2's and in some cities (sacramento) they are perfect for street driving. in other cities (San francisco, oakland) it can get unbearable even on the softest settings. i catch air doing the speed limit on some bumps on the freeways around oakland. the ladies will NOT like them.
