It's time for a more comfortable ride
Howdy. My Camaro has some significant suspension and driveline upgrades including:
Let me tell you, the power gets to the ground now, but man, the ride is terrible! That said, what do you folks recommend for shocks and springs to soften the ride a bit when on the road? Any other changes you all might recommend for a better ride? Christmas is coming and I need to put a list together LOL. Thanks!

Get rid of everything you put in.....srsly...every item you list connects your ass that much closer to the road...which IMHO is exactly what everybody is lookin for...so...could also by a 2nd car?

I have 4 other vehicles and can take another one out for a better ride. I know what the purpose is for the pieces I installed, that's why I installed them. What I'm asking is, would shocks (since I'm still running stock shocks) and better springs help with ride comfort?

I guess if you could get the magnetic ones some how installed but the suspension is setup to work a certain way within predetermined parameters and if you go to far then basically it would become a turd....maybe get 18" rims with a taller tire side profile would soften it up? I want to get a setup like spinmonster over at corvette did...looks stock but is a killer street sleeper setup...just on the rears tho...

My Camaro rides about as smooth as a third generation Vette.
I do have a second vehicle for days when my back can't take it. |

replace the delrin with poly keep the sub frame bushings and get adjustable coil overs.

We currently have both setups. Air is great for adjustability, but not necessary for ride comfort. When done right a coilover car can ride just as good as a air car. Let us know how we can help.
