If you dont know already the ride quality on a v6 SUKS big time!!! I feel everything when im driving, its worse that riding on low profiles and 20"s.

In order to solve this problem I am about 4 days from ordering new wheels from CruizinConceptsMike they are 18" AR DD black Bullits, I didn't want to get 20's because of 2 things: 1. ride quality wont hardly improve, 2. they are much heavier and harder for a V6 to cope with. Along with appearance, the MAIN reason I am buying them is to (hopefully) get better tires = better ride quality.

The tire I am currently considering is the BFG KDW2 in sizes 285/40/18 and 255/45/18. which equates about 4.5in sidewall. What I really what to know is if this will solve my problem, or are there another brand that will work better for my intentions?

Currently I have stock springs and struts, after they are on Im going to order some ebachi lowering springs.

After you put the springs on it'll be a lot stiffer.
I dropped mine and it is bouncey but I don't mind it.
I'm getting struts and shocks in the near future.

Definetly do the shocks/struts at the same time as the lowering springs. The tires and tire size you chose should make the ride more comfortable.

I rented a V6 convertible auto on my last vacation.
The transmission was acting so bad I never noticed the suspension.

IMO the V6 and V8 cars don't feel ANY different and I have/had 20's on both.

With the new rims/tires it should be the same ride quality, but if you put just springs on later your ride will be more harsh (but you will feel more control).

YEP, no diff, ive driven my freinds GT/CS, and they are the same. i actually dont like my freinds GT/CS because of the traction controll lol, **** that, it cuts down on the fun, i know u can turn it off, but im just sayin...
