Default coilover recommendations

ok so i was totally wrong about the EDFC and now im having second thoughts about the Tein SSP coilovers and EDFC. I am now looking for some coilovers that are somewhat soft that wont make me throw up riding over gravel but still have tight enough handling that i can have some fun goin around the turns. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Go for the H&Rs, im very happy with them and my only complaint is a tad bit of noise at slow parking speeds. The handling improvement is amazing and the ride is nice, and not too rough.

What were u wrong about? Did you adjust the EDFC properly so that it rides a bit softer? My buddy has the SSP's and the EDFC and it has felt both soft and stiff depending on the setting

i was wrong because forsome reason i thought that dampening force was ride eight but its how soft or hard the car rides. ive heard that when u make the Tein SSP's soft they get really bouncy and im kinda tall and dont want to hit my head on the ceiling. After a little more research and talk ive heard that H&R coilovers make the softest ride and are still ride height adjustable so i think im gonna go with those.

H&R coilovers are height adjustable, but there is no damper force adjustment. That aside, if you are looking for top notch street performance AND a comfortable ride, I highly recommend them.
