What's a good set up for a daily driven 99 Trans am. Mines way too low and ride wicked hard. Bought it lowered and I don't like it as low as it is

Go back to stock( I have stock WS6 suspension with 35k for sale). Other than that, are the springs cut? What shocks/springs are on there now? If they're adjustable, are they fully soft? I have Koni adjustables and BMR lowering springs and would hate life if I daily drove it… although it handles very well and responsive.

What color are your springs? Would be helpful to know where you're starting.

If you're looking for a softer ride and aren't as concerned about performance handling, you could pick up a set of stock springs and go with SLP Bilsteins for the shocks and it would have a comfortable ride (not to mention more ground clearance).

Here's my setup:

SLP Bilsteins
Stock springs with 1 coil cut
Strano sway bars
1LE rear LCA bushings

Everyone who's rode in my car has said it rides great, doesn't beat you up at all. Takes corners on the street like it's on rails... not too bad on an autox track either. I know it would be faster with proper lowering springs and Konis, but for the money I don't think it can be beat.

Stock or if you still want the lowered look you could go with the SLP lowering springs.

I have stock springs with 1 coil cut and it rides great. I had purchased springs for my old car, this one is just as good 99% of the time for no cost.

I have KYB shocks and they work pretty well too. I could DD my car if I had to.

My car could be a little lower for appearance but at this point I am not touching it.
