Suspension For Road Use?

I've got a series II GTS-T with 1.5 " lowered springs and stock shocks and this combined with 19" Wheels equals a bone shattering ride. I want to make the ride more comfortable with much better handling. The car is only driven on the street so does this rule out coilovers? Can someone please suggest some brands of springs and shocks to look at?

Cheers.

I second that. Just put that setup in my 32, and it was 1000 times better than both the sets of coilovers i have had. Altho i only had the front sway bar and all the whiteline shock and spring combo as we had to put the rest of it on the next day. Rides the bumps exceptionally well, is still firm, and turns like a go kart. Dont waste your money going elsewhere.

Just my thoughts and experiences.

i wouldnt rule out coilovers, maybe just go a softer spring rate and make sure there damper adjustable aswell...another bonus is the height adjustability so if your 19" rims start rubbing the gaurds you can raise it up till it stops...just a thought

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
