Default strut help choices

ok so looking at re lowering my car again gotta choose between the konis, agx, toxico, and billsteins. I was on eibach and billsteins and it rode really rough. back on stock suspension now it still rides rough. what do i choose going with either the bmr springs or strano springs in front have the hotchis for the rear all ready. I know the konis are really cheap right now but I want a good ride quality not necessarily a sporty feel the roads in my town are horrible and not getting better anytime soon.

sorry for the spelling errors too many randomly named companies.

That's going to be a tough thing for everyone else to answer for you. We can tell you what will provide good damping control and so forth but you might think something with less control might feel better. It's all in your opinion.

Maybe you can tell us what kinds of ride characteristics are good ride quality to you?

haha basically the roads feel like they are made out of bricks around here and some actually are. I hit these bumps and it feels like my whole suspension is about to fall out on stock stuff. I think I need a Cadillac. I mean the highways are fine its just these dang city streets.

In that case, selling the car and finding something else with a better ride may be the only option...not to sound like an ***

The roads in a nearby city from me are horrible. I love the way my Camaro rides everywhere else, even moderately bumpy roads. These roads though.. it rides terrible.
