Default softest / most comfortable coilovers

i know that sounds a little contradictory....but

does anyone have experience with more than one brand of coilovers and know of a set that is VERY comfortable?

i wish that Tein made a Comfort Spec (CS) series for the 1st gen B, but I have never seen nor heard of it.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks SL

Check out Tanabe's coilovers. I've heard great things about the ride quality and how it's supposed to be near OEM.

i have the Tein SS+p coilovers, the adjustable dampers make a big difference in comfort.

ive seen some people that were not happy with them but i don't think they knew how to adjust them.
i know when i fist got them i thaught i was adjusting them the right way. i kept adjusting them softer and softer and it didn't seem to be getting any better. i adjusted it all the way hard and i liked it alot better that way.

i am currently on monroes with Spy Springs and it is FAR too bouncy for my tastes

it would have been fine a few years ago, but I guess in my old age it's getting annoying

oh...... yeah, almost forgot.
wheel size has alot to do with it to.
if your concerned with comfort then you might not want to be sittin on 19s or 18s with a 30 / 35 side wall.
