Possibly changing suspension...
Alright, right now i have omnipower full street coilovers. and to me, they are too harsh. so im looking at some different setups. i found some used tein ss type coilovers for sale. hows the ride with those compare to others? im also looking for other suggestions as well, doesnt have to be just coilovers. id like to look at all my other options, i basically dont want as much of a harsh ride.

Coilovers will always be a bit more harsh than lowering springs. If you want something softer I would just get lowering springs with Tokico Illuminas.

I just yesterday put Neuspeeds Sports and Tokico Illuminas on my EX. It sits a lot lower than I thought it would (supposed to be 1.5 drop in front and 1.75 in back), but so far the ride is nice. I have a lot of playing to do with the shock adjustments, but so far so good.

Alright, so with springs/shocks, basically any spring that has the desired drop i want with tokico illuminas?
anyone riding on the tein ss type coilovers?
also, ive got 16" rims right now with 205/45... would this be a big contributor to the harsh ride?
