Bad ride. just got my 03 coupe

Hi..just bought my 03 ..it came wit 20 inch rims..245/35/20 tires..front and rear..it also has the Eibach Pro-Kits springs..but the ride quality is too ruff way to bumpy for me..is it because i still have the stock shocks??..also it is kinda too low..cant even go to a normal carwash..and over some bumps i graze the bottom..it would be nice if it could go up like a half an inch more..i want a really nice ride quality with a decent drop..any suggestions?

you'll probably like the drop that the tein h-tech for the 350z will give you. search

The combination of 20's and a big drop won't do much for ride quality. If you're committed to the 20" wheels, you might want to look into a different set of springs or consider coilovers like the Tein CS or HKS LS.

Sounds like you should go with some stock Z springs. Stock-like ride, and only about 0.5" drop
