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?
