[QUOTE="EEEE30, post: 402266, member: 16244"] All about spring rates To answer OP's quoestion. There are lot of varients to look for when talk about ride hight and ride confort. One major thing to consider is your spring rates. Higher the rates you have harsher the ride will be, meaning higher rate springs are stiff and makes your ride one crazy humpty dumty ride, unless you drive in track. Usually shortend srpings are stiffer. That is why everyone says when they lower their cars, their ride comfortness goes down the drain. However, there are shotend springs with higher spring rates. So you can have lowered car with somewhat close to oem ride comfort. Remeber . Your wheels don't make your ride harsh or confortable, your suspension set up does. [/QUOTE]
