Nothing is going to help them ride better really. You can upgrade your endlinks to Moog though.

NO coilovers ride good. if you want good characteristics stay on springs and struts. its a trade off to be had. if your slammed it will ride like even more crap.

your exhaust is going to hit every stone, pebble, bug, leaf and spec of dust. Get used to that.

You'll want rotated mounts for sure. Don't even think about going that low without them.

Then a good alignment.

And the first time you pull into a parking spot too far you'll need a new splitter.

not wrong... you really think even if you spend 5k+ on coilovers they are going to ride like a mercedes or something of that nature? not a chance. i agree good coilovers will ride way better then **** coilovers but dont except the world of luxary. coilovers arent ment for street use normally and the good coilovers you speak of are 90% track oriented and have a very ''sporty ride"

no coilovers expensive or cheap are going to ride well if you lower them all the way to the bottom of their stroke.
