Im looking to lower the car but would still like the factory smooth ride when going over bumps and dips in the road, nyc has alot of pot holes etc.

I'm debating on the eibach, h&r, and b+g springs. All of them are progressive but the h&r gives the lowest drop out of them all. Any members that have any of these installed can chip in on ride quality, if theres a difference in ride quality and handling.

At first i was just going to get the eibach, then My boy had the h&R and advised to get those but with a 1.6 drop and a lip on the car im not sure how long it would stay here in Nyc So the B+g drop is in the middle of them both. Just I'm more concern about ride quality.

Thank you.

im running h+R springs and kyb struts.

anyway, the ride is very nice, at first you will feel alot more of the small bumps on the highway, it never has caused any problems but ever since i put them on I HATE SPEED BUMPS!! Also, very steep driveways/hills will cause your lip to rub on the floor.

it looks really good, I like it but if i had the choice I would probably choose springs just a tiny bit higher than h+r, (the front drops lower than the back with HR springs)

the turning response feels alot better and you feel alot more in touch with the road than with stock.

Intrax lowers your car the most, I just installed these springs on Tuesday and I have to wiggle my finger to get them in the front wheel well.
