Default want the stock suspension feel

I just put my car back to stock and I will tell you what I like it more then when I had everything done to it. It rides and handles sick so I wanted to know if anyone out there had a setup that feels like stock. I love this setup and the damn thing is stock lol. I had so much money in this thinking it drove better never even knowing what stock felt like and now want to kick myself in the head for not trying it out first. So anyone with a lowered car that rides and feels like stock please give me some info on your setup

PSS9! But can be a little soft but great for daily driving.

cr suspension? almost all the coilover(except pps9 and tein type cs) are double in spring rate as oem(non cr).

kw v3 is about 600lb/in
apexi n1 is about 672lb/in
tein flex is about 672lb/in
jic is about 500-600 lb/in

yeah, all of those will not give you a oem ride to be very honest.

I was looking at upgrading my stock suspension and I don't want the bumpy ride from lowering it. I figured I would put koni yellow's on and put them at the lower perch so it would be just a bit lower. The shocks also improve the stock ride I hear.

you want to replace your oem mono tube with external reservior damper with a twin tube all in one damper with the same damper travel on a lower perch on oem spring?

i can almost sense you are going to post about "my new suspension sucks" beyond you buy it

i wanted to go with tein flex but their is almost to must adjustment for just daily driving . so i just ended up going with the spoon fixed dampeners and progressive springs . i have not received them yet but i hope they are going to be close to stock ride .

Let us know how you like your spoon fixed dampeners. I'm considering going with those and some springs. Probably swift as I don't want to slam my car.

i like my kw V3's. they are very adjustable and built great. each click on the shock absorber is noticeable, and can be made to ride as soft as stock, or softer.
