Default Stock Suspension Upgrade Q

Hello CI,
Looking to upgrade the suspension on my newly acquired 94 LS SE. Its a bone stock vehicle, and I'm trying to figure out a system that gives a little more cushion compared to the stock setup.

Basically looking for some suggestions/experiences.

-It Is my Daily Driver
-I'm not just trying to lower it
-Looking for a softer than stock ride
-Price conscious but willing to trade money for happiness
Thank you for your input!

-Oh, that's cool.
-I said that before, but i ended up lowering it.
-correct me if i'm wrong, but in my opinion, the softest and most comfortable ride is the stock setup. obviously, i've never rode in every single setup, but it's OEM for a reason.
-better quality setups will usually cost about $500+. You get what you pay for. Type 1 coilvers are cheap and pretty good coilovers for its price and especially for daily driving. a lot of members here have them including myself and i've had no problem with it whatsoever.

So you bumped a dead thread and didn't help the OP (who I'm not sure is even around any more) with what he was asking by thread jacking?

This is why you either A: Create a new thread asking what you're unsure of.

Or B, which you should really do first before asking something that's been covered before.... SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!



Some punctuation wouldn't hurt either. I couldn't tell where one sentence ended and another began.

You won't find softer in anything after market. Oem is as soft or "comfortable" as it is going to get. Lowing a car you are compressing the shock no matter if it is OEM or after market, it will be a stiff ride. then you well have a spring on that obviously, now depending on the gram weight of the spring (stiffness) you will be even more stiff. When lowing car there is no soft ride. Now if I read it right you do want to lower your car, if so, kiss comfortable by by.

If you want soft stay OEM.

Im getting H tech lowering springs and STR.T shocks by koni for my DD. It drops it a bit and keeps the ride good and the handling improved, from everything I've read.
