Put A set B&G spring on a stock car with stock shock and the car rides like crap. Question is should i put better shocks on with the springs or put the stock spring back on and go with a beter shock?THe car now was about 1" of travel then it bottoms out. I want a better ride but, i would like the keep the lowering spring is there anything i can do to get some on my ride back?Or is that all im going to be able to get?
Im pretty sure i blow out the shocks that are on the car now, so should i put an aftermarket shock on? or will they blow out to because on it being lowered?
I know the ride will not be the same as stock(being lowered) so what should i do ? or what have you done?
