Softer ride: What struts?, Sorry for my search laziness Options

[UTSlickVic]

My ride is just too freaking rough. She take bumps pretty hard. I understand that having 18 inch 225 tires is the cause but I have one one route to left to take. (Note: I recently swtiched to yokohama tires and that made a WORLD of difference in handling/noise/ride/braking). Now, I have eibach with stock struts presently. I dont want to change the springs beacause Im very happy with the drop height.

What struts do you recommend for a "softer" ride. I heard that the KYBs are alittle bit more stiffer than stock... not sure if thats just opinion. I dont want my ride to fell like "drivin miss daisy" just want her to bumps better.

Do yall think the stock struts being old is causing the rough ride? If so, would KYBs be an improvement over old-stock struts?


Can yall give me a push in the right direction?

Shocks do effect the ride of a car...only an uninformed person would say it doesn't.
You are running Springs and shocks that aren't matched to each other which is why you have a poor ride quality.

I'd suggest a quality adjustable shock (if you can find one) to help find a good setting. Koni yellows are adjustable, though they will cost you more money.
But you pay for what you get.

ahh thats better... now I have hope thanks for the link. A little too expensive though.

monroes are very soft
kyb is nice
bilstein is stiff
koni is adjustable

ok its either monroes or kyb. I heard kybs are pretty much stock. Can I assume the kybs are a little stiffer than Monroes ?

My LAST question is regarding my old struts: When struts get old do they get stiffer or softer over time? Im just trying to anticipate what a new strut will feel like.

thanks again.
