I have gone through the suspension section and it lists mostly stiff suspension for f-bodys, which makes sense since its about better handling and such. My camaro is a DD and i would like for it to have a better ride quality than it currently does. I have KYBs on it right now. The problem is that it is floaty soft, but underdamped. Even though they are adjustable, the stiffer I make them, the more the suspension crashes on uneven roads. How do i solve this issue, without selling the car. I have some extra cash right now ($600 to be exact) to use towards the car and I was wanting to fix a few things. The springs are stock. Any help would be very much appreciated.

correct, if you dont want to drop 1k on konis then get those. but konis would be best for stock ride height, and if you had a drop. ask anyone with konis. which is me. lol.

honestly, i think the springs help the ride more than the shocks do. i have strano's and KYB's on my car and it rides fine. get some springs man, it helped my car a LOT. just don't get the eibach's, they ride like total ****

BTW, the car has the eibach's on it in my sig pic. here's how it sits with the strano's, just so there isn't any confusion:

Konis blows his $600 budget right off.

I've got Hotchkis springs and Bilsteins and it rides and handels great. The ride even better than stock. I had Tokikos on before and the ride was more harsh.

The ride quality is most DEFINITELY a result of shocks.

Springs support the weight of the vehicle and support the transition of weight. Shocks dampen or smooth out the springs action and reaction to the weight change.

Stano revalved Bilsteins all day.

I can start with the rears (which are my main concern). I would much rather change out all fours. I have heard a lot about the strano revalved shocks and also Konis. i am assuming they are pretty close. They are both not the cheapest alternatives and I dont want to experiment with premium prices.

i'm not saying it has nothing to do with it. basically what i'm saying is that you don't need to pony up all that cash for all of these expensive *** shocks to get a good ride quality. it made a TREMENDOUS difference when i switched from the eibach springs to the strano's. i have about $700 in my spring/shock setup and it drives like a champ. i'm sure it would have a little better ride with koni's or whatever, but for the money that they want for those things, it's just not worth it to me. my car rides fine with the KYB's on it, and that's the simple truth. any of you guys are welcome to meet up with me any time you want and i'll take you for a ride in it to prove it to you

unless Strano started making these a little easier to get recently, they're almost impossible to get your hands on them because they are so backordered

nice sig, BTW. that's pretty funny

And what I'm saying is on STOCK springs, a $350 set of Bilstein HDs are perfect.

you're right. i overlooked that he wanted to stay with stock springs. my bad

i would also like to point out i was simply saying that you don't need to dump all of that money on expensive shocks. you really don't need them, but as pointed out by mitchntx, the bilstein HD's would be fine for a stock spring setup

Ive got konis all the way around with sam strano springs, and i am amazed at the difference from stock.
