softest ride set up?
 

I like my FD and wish to keep it, however being almost 1/2 a century old I'd like to create the softest ride possible. Try to keep the heckling to a minimum but go ahead if you must. I like the slightly lowered look but can live at the stock height.

As long as you don't plan on going with some large aftermarket rims, you could do Racing Beat Springs and the Tokicos.

The Racing Beat springs are close to the stock spring rate. The Tokicos will allow you to soften up the ride and still have a little lower car (using the Racing Beat springs of course for the lowering).

However, the Racing Beat springs can cause rubbing with larger rims since the spring rates are fairly low compared to other aftermarket springs.

I will practically give you my old touring stock suspension with 90k on the clock. It was like riding in a Cadillac :D

The stock suspension is about as soft as it gets, unless you have an R1. If you want to make it even softer, get the springs from Fumanchu's 94. They will ride a little softer than your 93, but may raise the car about 1/2 an inch.

Even with a "soft suspension", your FD will handle better than 99% of the cars on the road.

I will say the car handles well, especially coming out of a turn and nailing the throttle. The acceleration exiting is phenomenal. I have a friend with a 2000 camero z28 and his car can't come close to the quickness in short bursts. The FD is just so light it can do things others can't. I assume now after reading the above posts the touring model is the softest sprung. I will have to look into this idea. Thanks guys. P/S until I hurt my back 4 years ago I ran 8 miles a day or rode my bike to work which was 20 miles one way. The moral is listen to your body. If it hurts to do that- don't.

There is some debate about springs. I believe that all springs are the same for a given year. This means that a 93 R1 has the same springs as the touring model. The difference in stiffness is that the R1 has stiffer shocks. The other models all have the same softer shocks.

In 94, they put softer, slightly longer springs on the car. Thats why I suggested going with the 94 springs.

Buy a Cadillac.

Stock is the softest you could go. I guess if you cut your springs it'd bounce more...

I like the H&R sport springs with the stock R-1 shocks. It gives a ride that feels better than the stock touring and is much more controlled. Also will lower the car quite a bit.

If you don't want to change your springs just get the Tokicos and set them to soft. Mahjik may have the right answer for you it seems.

The Bilstiens also come highly recommended but they will be on the firm side.

The 94/95 suspension setup is softer than the one on the 93, you might want to consider that route as well.
