any lowered car is going to ride rough (unless you got air bags)

go with whatever ur budget allows

If you don't wanna spend to much you could go with tockico HP's but if you want something a little better, people here seem to like Strange adjustables

They didnt say the car would ride bad they said they wouldnt work! They are designed for lowered cars! I have bilsteins on my car and love them. Dont know why they would say that. Probably 80% of the road race cars I see have them on it!

Adjustability is always a nice option... I dont want to exclude all the other shocks/struts out there but I am running Strange 10 Ways and I like them.
