Hey everyone, im at the stage of my project where I'm looking for new suspension. I will be running super low springs front and rear. I dont want the thing to ride back breaking harsh.

What's peoples experience with shocks that won't make it ride ****?

I understand it will be lowered but surely there's a shock option to help. Only a weekend cruiser and won't see the track.

running bilsteins in both my vks, silver ones revalved to slower rebound and nolathane right through on super low king springs, rides mint 4 up with a boot full of tyres and a jack, no guard rub, no harsh bottom out, thats on 8.5"corvette rims running 225 50 16
my blue one runs stock bilsteins on lowered lovell springs , rides a bit softer but still really good and firm but not harsh

I can really easy take the silver one away on the weekends with the kids and the new baby with no complaints, also does a real good power slide in third with no terrible pendulum effect when correcting out
I dont run a swaybar in the back and noticed no difference in handling at all

Ride will come down to tyre size/bushes & springs.

Pedders comfort gas are decent,most gas shocks have decent ride as long stay away from nolathane bushes,silly low profile tyres & king springs
