There is no such thing as a car that is lowered, that will ride like factory. Even with the coil-overs, like you said. I have coil-overs on my 944, and believe me, that ride is nothing like factory.

I couldn't agree more. At least with coil overs you have a system that's engineered to work together. When properly done you have compression and rebound in harmony, with vehicle weight and available travel engineered into the mix. When you use Brand A shocks and Brand B springs, it's a crapshoot. You like playing Vegas odds with your suspension? Good luck!!! I lost the first time I played, and the second time around I've not quite broken even.
