So what springs will be the most comfortable! as in soft rather then stiff! just wondering!

 

stock?? :P

 

i think that would be pretty hard to say. The only true answer you can get, rather than personal opinion/preferance, is someone who has tried ALL of them on their vehicle.

 

you could make educated guesses based on the spring rates of different aftermarket springs too. but what gimme says is true, you're going to have to filter out a lot of biased opinions.

 

I would look into the tein h-tech springs if your going for minimal drop with increased ride comfort.

Otherwise I would go with a spring that has a progressive spring rate.

Or just pick something with the lowest spring rates.

 

anytime you go stiffer the springs without increasing damping your ride gets worse. So to leep the closest to tock ride quality you'd want the softest lowering springs out there.

Skunk2 Pro-C coil-overs with the damping adjusted low is suprisingly very smooth. They have monster stiff springs, but fantastic damping

Opinions are bias. Trust the numbers!

 

If you are looking only for a soft ride, what Artieman said is most valid. As long as your dampers are good, go with the lowest spring rate. If you would like to keep some semblance of handling or braking, you would go with a low initial rate progressive. That's the rough physics of it.

Now, I have a question that I hope someone will help me with. I just put some new springs on my '07 Sport. I have a memory problem and forgot to measure the front height at the wheelwell centered on the wheel. Does anyone know or someone with a stock ride height measure that for me? I will be eternally grateful. Thanks, in advance, Britt.

13 1/4" on a base/LX 13 3/8" on a sport.

 

Stock, of course. All the dropped springs are stiffer than stock since they have less travel but have to support the same weight changes.
The suspension design can be changed to use longer but softer springs but there isn't room. Even for a high-rider. The beam axle only swings so far.
