Stiff suspension- No like E...

I have tokicos adjustable shocks with lowering springs. I just recently installed 18" wheels and the suspension feels stiff as hell. Not enjoyable at all in the streets. What are you guys opinion on a more street stock car like suspension for street driving but still keeping the car lowered. Thanks

What settings are you running on your Tokicos? Spring brand/type? A sidewall like that is only going to make the ride seem harsher.

That is the problem with 18" rims on the North East roads.

What springs do you have?

I was pretty happy using Koni shocks w/ stock springs set at the middle perch for a little lowering when I lived in the NY area.
