Default Smoother Ride?

Anyone ever tried doing a setup to maximize a smoother ride?

The 03's had stiffer spring rates than the newer 05-08 models. id start with looking into a new spring/strut combo. I like a nice comfortable ride as well, so im going with the tanabe sustec pro5 coilover setup. its softest setting is supposedly softer than stock and can stiffen upto 16 settings above stock for the occasional autox. just find a setup that works for what u want to do.

Your close to having a clue


Look into the 04.5 and newer springs and struts. They are actually stiffer, but improve the ride do to the fact the spring and shocks are much better matched to the car.

Also you would want no bigger than 18 inch wheels, better yet , just go buy a caddy. YOU BOUGHT A SPORTS CAR , just a little reminder.
