Mine now with Sportlines........ but it's nice going over speed bumps opposed to going around them...

Yeah, I enjoy crossing over speed bumps at a 45* angle, really slow, too. I pretty much expected that when I lowered the car, though. @ OP; the way a car rides is like exhaust tone -- totally personal opinion. Like this guy, I also have Sportlines and am happy with them. The ride is definitely more firm than stock, but doesn't beat you up. It does get a little choppy if you've got an adult passenger in the backseat, though (new shocks meant for a lowered car might fix that). Pics of mine are in my gallery, check them out if you like.

Well, I heard to go with either Eibach or H&R. I'm gonna go with Eibach once I'm ready to do the struts/springs etc.

If you would get the CORRECT components to work with your spring choice it wouldnt ride like crap even with full suspension.
My last GT had everything I needed to realign my angles to a factory level and my spring and shock/strut set up was all in coincidence.

Do research next time before you come off like a retard.

EDIT: Should have stated my first GT had H&R's and current GT has Sportlines.

ROFL.. 10 bucks says I know wtf im talking about. Stock shocks/struts should not ride better than aftermarket shock/struts and springs. If you knew what you were doing, you wouldnt be running a cheapo setup right now.

I put the pro kit on mine and it rode okay. I replaced the struts and shocks and am now running bilsteins. What a difference over the factory struts/shocks. I love the eibach pro kit now.

Progressive springs with a good set of shocks/struts rides like a freaking dream. im waiting to pick up some bilsteins for my car from the IRS swap. Im using some tokicos right now. They are decent, but the valving isnt near as good as bilsteins.

Yeah crash gotta hate those speed bumps. I don't know about you but no one drives me car except me. Reason? When I was rocking the Mach 1 bumper spoiler I let a friend drive my car.. He Went over a speed bump and ripped it off. His words to me were "My Bad." I was frigging pissed!!
