ride quality when dropped

is it true that no matter what set up u go wit coilova or springs that the ride quality of a dropped car will be rough? becuz what im looking for is the ride of a factory comfortability when dropped? how ? what set up?....any advice for a comfort set up ride quality would be appreciated...i dont think its worth the drop if its rough PERIOD.

Depends what rough is for you. ALL setups will be rougher than stock, just some more than others.

with coilovers you get what you pay for, but if you plan on lowering your car just slightly dont worry about it ur ride comfort will be fine, if u plan on slamming your g and u still are held back by ride comfort or other worrries of being low then its not for you

How the shocks are valved relative to the spring rates is just as important.

g35ivp, if you're just getting springs without aftermarket shocks, as long as the spring rates & drop aren't too aggressive, the ride quality shouldn't be too bad.

For coilovers, there are a few other factors to consider.
