Default lowering kits..whats the best ride..

So I just picked up my 2010 and got a great deal on some rims/tires...This is my problem...

The tires are nitto 555 275/40/18...the same tires I had on my 2008 gt with steeda springs...to tell you the truth I hated the ride..to stiff/bumpy and hard for a daily driver...

my question is do all the lowering kits preform the same...frpp/steeda/upr/eibach

I want the 275/40/18...but dont want the extra wheel gap space..

Please give me your thoughts and suggestions...thanks..drive safe..

Teh roush kit rides just about like stock. A lot of the guy shere have steeda sports and koni strt or street (whatever they are called) shock snad struts and swear by them. I thk it has more to do with teh struts you chose for the ride than the springs, to some extent anyway.

I'm on Steeda sport springs and Koni Yellows (adjustable shocks), and I love it. With some playing around, I found something that was sporty, and still comfortable as far as adjusting the shocks. If you run the rears a bit softer than the fronts, it rides like a dream, and still offers awesome handling.

I got the Eibach Pro kit and it rides awesome. Better than stock in my opinion as far as comfort goes. Handling is amazing. I checked around a lot before buying them and received so much great feedback I went with them.

Which Steeda springs, Sport or Ultralight? I'm running the Sport springs, and I've been pleased with them so far. I'm also still on the stock struts and shocks.
