dont know which suspension setup to choose

[RaVeN821]

I currently have kyb agx adjustable struts ans skunk2 racing coil-overs and i hate the ride. It is extremely bouncy and i have spent months trying to adjust it and i cannot correct the problem. What i am looking for i a suspension setup that will lower the car 1.5 to 2 inches AND give a cnice ride AS CLOSE TO STOCK AS POSSIBLE. Any suggestions please???

What spring rates are you using front and back? It is going to be nearly impossible to lower 1.5-2.0 inches and get anything near a stock ride. By lowering the car, you give up wheel travel. To prevent bottoming out on every little bump, the springs must get stiffer than stock.

KYB's are bad on bump dampening though. What settings are you running them on?

Buy Koni's. Dump the AGX's. Do you know what the spring rates are on the Skunks?

2G's have incredibly short front suspension travel.

Front suspension travel is roughly 2" - 3.5" depending on how old, weight distribution etc. Now take your 2.0" drop out and what do you have? See the problem. I did it on my GS-T. By the time everything settled and was run on I ended up with a 3.1" drop. I hit the shock rods ALL the time. If you want a steep drop (>1.5") and a decent ride you have one choice. Full Coilovers. Expect $1300 - $2200 depending on just how good you want ($1800 for the JIC FLT-A2 which I recommend).

Did you cut down your bump stops? If not you are probably bouncing off of them. You can get the JIC coilovers for $1400.00 and get a set of B+G for $999.00, which for a thousand dollars is not that much more than what you probably paid for your current set up and the B+G's are rebuildable. So if you blow a seal you don't need to buy a new shock and you can have them custom valved to your liking.

I'm runnin tockicos and drop zone springs on my spyder its almost stock a little ruffer but hey thats what you get when you drop a ride down. my boo is sittin bout 2.25 i've got a specialty products camber kit and a homemade in the rear! if you wanna save money and want a serious drop get the dropzone springs i got m on ebay for cheap. I had eibachs with my tockicos and the ride sucked really stiff and bouncy now with the softer springs and stiff struts the ride is almost stock I love my setup. and it was alot cheaper than a full coilover setup
