Is your Dad's car suspension stock?

I just upgraded my total suspension (except the K member). I have the SLP Bilsteins. My car drives better than anything I've ever driven but is lowered and yea I feel that pothole real good when I hit it!

Same here. I quite enjoy driving the car. Well, I always did, but it no longer rattles my teeth like it used to lol.

I have SLP Bilsteins with Vogtland lowering springs. BUT also have lots of suspension upgrades same time so I can't really point to that strut / spring combo as the magic bullet.

I also went with Strano springs and Bilsteins -- seems to be general consensus around here that's a quality combo.

BMR also has a "similar but different" set of springs that seem to have pretty high regard on the board, however I don't have any personal experience with them.

Our BMR lowering springs work very well with Bilstein shock and it is actually one of the more popular combinations we offer. This particular combination will give you a nice lowered stance and substantially increase the handling of your vehicle.

I'm really tempted to go replace my Koni's with Bilsteins in hopes of a better ride.

No, I don't. I'd like to see it here in there in the future, but it's a street car.

I have Hotchkis springs on my SLP Bilsteins. I love the way the car rides/handles, it's better than when the car was new.
