Im riding on Koni Yellows with H&R springs combo. I feel every bump. I use my 97 s14 everyday to get around and would enjoy a smoother ride. I dont want to drop to low at the expense of bottomong out on BC's crappy roads but I dont want to eliminate my handling speed.

all in all im looking for somewhat cheap, smooth springs?Any Suggestions?

i'm running H&R's on stock struts on my daily right now...and i love em.

a little bouncy, but the ride is so much smoother than any other spring i've felt (eibach sportline, tein s-techs, etc).

If you think H&R's are that uncomfortable of a ride, the stock setup might be your best bet. That or some sort air bag over strut setup

My S13 came with tokico blues and tanabe gf210's and I suppose the ride was pretty decent, and also handled pretty decent.
