dropping the car
 

My car has the non sport suspension, i love the way it goes over bumps, I was wondering if there is a way that i can drop the car and keep the same ride that i have know, i only want to drop the car for looks and not for handleing, any ideas? Thanks

the lower u go... the worse the ride. As far as i kno, theres not any way to get around that

what is the softest strut out there?

softest strut?

you mean softest spring? the Eibach Pros (I have) drop the car about 1.2-1.4 inchs and still has a great ride. But I want to go real low, and thus I will have a hard ride, but i dont care about ride quality

RE: dropping the car
 

not unless u get coilover kits, i think

I've got a 2000 a4 w/H&R sport springs and koni adjustable shocks. The ride is stiff, but still acceptable for everyday driving. The look is worth it though.

i was in your boat, so i went with the stock sport suspension. it only lowers it 20mm and the ride quality isn't compromised...if you need to be lower than that though, neuspeed makes the softest springs from what i've heard.

RE: dropping the car
 

The less travel you have the stiffer the ride will be and there's no way around that. If you were to lower the car with springs that were just shorter yet maintained the same spring rate, you would bottom out quite often. So, if you go lower you go stiffer.

what springs and struts can i get that will give me the softest ride i can get dropped. will there be any differents if i go with coilovers?

RE: dropping the car
 

Coilovers are sort of wierd, in that the lower you go... the softer the ride gets (to a point)... but yeah, it still comes down to spring rate. A coilover will always have a stiffer rate than stock.
