I went with Steeda Sport Springs.I'm happy with the drop, wouldn't want it any lower, but I'm a bit unhappy with the ride quality,
now it's almost like having steel bars instead of springs.
I wonder if Ultralites have better ride comfort.

allegedly they are suppose to be tuned a little more towards comfort; which is why i went with them (ultralites). "ride comfort" is pretty subjective but at 4 turns from full firm i would say my ride comfort is very close to stock except when yougo over the big bumps. my wife says she doesn't think the ride is harsh at all.

I'm fine with the suspension even on streets made of stone/bricks which are very uneven or even bumby.
But, when going over the speed bumbs, after the rear rolls over the bumb and "drops" on road again, you can feel very harsh ride.
But, on the other hand, now the rear end is very steady, after driving over the smaller bumbs the rear doesn't "live" as it used to [sm=smiley20.gif]
Well, I didn't investigate the market enough before buying the springs, I just thought that 1 1/4" drop should be smoother ride than with 1.5" or 2" drop

i would say steeda if you have 20s. If you have stock rims or 18s then the pro kit/frpp.

I actually couldn't get the Steeda Ultralites, apparently they are on a back order from Steeda. Brenspeed has none of them so they gave me the sport springs for the same price.
