Looking for softer ride

Looking for softer ride
That's right, I'm willing to give up some of my stability for a smoother ride. It has been fun the past (almost) 6 years but I find everyday driving on L.A. streets to be too harsh for the current set up.
BTW, if anyone saw the report, LA was ranked as having the worst roads in the country.
My 03.5 G35 sedan has the "sport" package. What are my best options to accomplish a more plush ride with regards to price and effectiveness?
Thanks.

No offense what so ever, but if you are looking for a softer ride than stock, and you want to tame down to stock exhaust note of the 03 Sedan (your other thread), it seems to me that you got the wrong car to begin with.
IMO, the 03.5 Sedan with the "sport" suspension is still soft.
Either way, best of luck. Whatever makes you happy is more important.

Your opinion is irrelevant. If you cannot help, why be an ****?

My post wasn't to get you so upset or to offend you. If you can't take an opinion, then please don't create a thread expecting everyone to say exactly what you want to hear.

Oem linear springs
G35 coupes with oem 17’s & 18’s
G35 sedan’s with sport suspension
350Z’s 2003/2004
Front:314 Rear:342
If you are not looking to lowering the car at all, you may try OEM non-sports springs(283/308).
Personal experience on the coupe, I went from OEM sports (314/427) to H-Tech (358/375), it's rides more comfortable.

I also heard that stock springs has linear springs rates and that the tein springs are progressive, where in progressive the rates gets stiffer as the wheel travel goes further but having a soft rate initially, stock linear rates has a constant stiffness regardless of wheel travel.....or vice-versa, i forget.
I'm no suspension expert but I've heard people say that the comfort gets better with the Tein H techs eventhough it lowers the car a slight bit.
