anyone know any good suspension combos for a stiffer ride but not too stiff? i have eibach pro + tokicos combo and it seems too soft. My friend has KYB shocks + eibach on his eclipse and it feels pretty good. any opinions?

The shorter the spring, the more stiff it is. Does he has prokit or sportsline?

if you switch to tein, that might be stiffer

Go wit TEIN and some TOKICO, to save money.
TEIN springs cost about $200 for a set.
My friend who has and IS300 has TOKCIO the 5-way adjustable, wit Eibach & they ride nice, it dropped his car really low, but i know he got his shocks for dirt cheap in California.

Just got the T&T combo installed. Handles real nice, surprisingly gentle ride - the squat on braking and acceleration is greatly reduced. I dont feel like im driving a boat anymore!
