I have a 2012 caprice, lowered and running on 20's. The ride is crap.
I'm might raise it a little and thinking of going back to 18's to improve the ride
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated
Cheers

How low it is?

Mine is lowered and on 20s too and it's not bad at all.
I think I've got SSL King spring, I have to check, they were already on the car when buying it ;-)

Anything over 18" will ride like crap.

Mines factory on 20s and rides as good if not better then anything else I've had including my VP Calais on 15s.

Maybe you just need new shocks???? I've had SSSLs in my VE and it was alright but I did need new shocks

How many km's

I just refresh my 09 berlina with new shocks and springs(has done 120K), found front strut rubbers were gone so added new and feels like new on 18's

Get some Monroe short shocks and you can live with 20's. ride on SSL on standard shocks is crap

or raise car up and run 18's

Ah yeah I forgot to mention I have FE2 shocks and less than 75K, probably helps smoothing the ride :)
