What in the world do you guys do to help with ride quality. I bought my I30 for simply a daily driver. It is lowered with S techs and GR2's. I think the GR2's have roughly 25,000 miles on them according to the previous owner. You can feel every rock in the road and it is harsh. It is not a comfortable ride at all. What do you have as far as shocks? Is it possible that the GR2's are just worn out or is these springs really that terrible. I am debating on putting the stock springs back in. While I love the way the car looks it is a daily driver and I have the cobra for the cool ride if you know what I mean.

From what I've read about lowering springs every brand will give a harsher ride than stock you definatly get better handleing but ride comfort is one draw back, especially because the S Techs offer the largest drop. I can't see the shocks/struts are shot after 25k it's more likely the springs are to blame. Out of all the manufactures H&R is supose to have the most comfortable ride but the highest price tag. If you want to keep it lowered swap out the springs for H&R and sell the S Tecs here on the forum someone will prob buy them, or go back to stock for a superior ride.
