Default Most comfortable springs???

I want to know the MOST COMFORTABLE springs, not the lowest. I just put on C springs and I feel like I'm riding on a buck board wagon. The word Hate comes to mind.

On a lighter note my wife now claims she will never drive the car again.

might be your shocks and struts........I put my C-springs in last year and I just noticed its been a bit more bumpy and have come to the conclusion its the shocks and struts

I thought about that, but the car only has 8,000 miles. When I changed the front springs I noticed that the struts didn't rebound like I thought they should. What I mean is I had to manually extend them to get them back in the strut tower. That probably isn't good is it?

If you mean that you had to pull them out then yes thats a bad thing you should be able to push them down and they should come back out slowly.

I'm not impressed with the stock shocks and struts with lowering springs so i'm just gonna do my whole suspension

sounds like a shock and strut problem to me. im running eibach prokit and tokico illumana 5 ways and they ride as good as stock. now if you crank the valving up to 5 they do get a little stiff

As far as the struts, I could push them down and they wouldn't come back up. I wonder if they are covered under warranty?
