Question My GF is getting car sick in my Z, need some advice lol

OK so I already know my Z has a horrible ride. Its on stock springs and shocks with the rear ones needing replacement bad causing inside feathering on my rear tires. Im riding on 18s with a thick 45 size tires all around.

I need advice on getting my ride smoother. I know new rear shocks will help since mine are bad. But what kind of setups lowered or not are you guys have good smooth rides with?

I'm sorry, could you try posting the pictures of your gf again? They're not showing up in your original post for some reason

I think Waizzz wants to be your girlfriend. He likes a rough ride.

Many options out there for suspension setups, you are going to need something that you can adjust the dampening... Set it soft for daily driving, then when you don't have her in the car, stiffen it up when you hit the track etc... If all else fails, make her follow you everywhere you go that way you get some quality time with the Z...
