Just wondering about those who have this combo on their car (Prokit and Bilstein HD's) What do you think about the ride quality? any negatives? How does it ride compared to stock...

I just put this kit from ws6store on my 96 Ta, I must say I love the stance, not too low, the car handles alittle more agressive and the hide is tad bit stiffer but the car still rides nice and quiet..If i can i'll get some pics up today for you

I'm not sure if you were looking for t/a guys only but my z28 has them both. I bought the car like that so I cant give an honest before and after. It handles like its on rails. That part is great. But, its a little bit of a rough ride for my likes IMO only. Others may like it that way. And I have to travel over many speed bumps and drag a little at times.. but then again i have SFC's. Hopefully i am giving a fair compair using a Z28 instead. im 50/50 on this combo. I drag race more and will be taking this combo out soon and selling it. As a side note I've read on here somewhere that t/a's fare better with this combo than Z's. No leaning to one side ect etc. Hope you find your answer.

I think the ride quality is awesome. However I dont think the springs are stiff enough for how much it lowers the car. I really wish I had gone with Stranos springs. The shocks seem great though, much better than stock. Although my front struts were blown when I had them replaced. oops

Front is alittle to stiff, the rear is way to soft, I would put air bags in the rear springs if I did this set up again.Handled pretty well can't complain. there is a better set up for a budget this is a ok set up.

revalved bilstiens + strano springs would be a better setup. Hell, probably Konis with stock (or 1LE) springs might be better.
EDIT: if your every in my area I will glady give you a ride in my car to see how the Koni's feel (you'll be sold instantly

Sounds like a sales pitch.

But to answer your original question, I had my TA lowered and the stance is very aggressive and ride is very stiff but comfortable..if that makes any sense.
This what my car looks like after it was lowered with the setup you are asking about.
