I drive in LA, low and stiff

whats the problem?

[70s-gearhead]

I started with the Prodrive springs. Big improvement in overall handling but I thought there was only a minor improvement in bobble head. Then I got the Recaro seats and felt a huge improvement in bobble head but it was still there - the wife said that she could now drink a cup of coffee without spilling but that reading in the car was still futile. Finally I upgraded to RCE T2's with the 350/300 springs and that was the end of bobble head. Actually the 350/300 RCE T2 combo feels softer than the Prodrive/Stock struct combo so I think I could have gone up to the 400/350 springs and been just as happy on the street and a little faster at AutoX.

If I only had enough $$$ to do the Recaro's or the t2's it would be a close call but if you drive the car every day the recaro's are the way to go.

I purchased all of the above from RCE - good price, great service :-)

crap if i change the seats, then i get no airbag.!! any suggestions for seats with airbag?

All I can say is that the Ohlins Flag Series that I installed ride better than stock. Same thing with a friend with the T2's, they are better around town than before. But if you are really looking for DD, Id say just go for a set of the fixed perch struts with a nice set of springs.

Bobblehead is from both the seats and suspension. I replaced seats when I had stock suspension, and the bobblehead was still there although it was significantly reduced. After RCE springs, it was gone I like RCE springs for daily driving although it might be a bit harsh for some. I recently replaced my fronts with RCE V2 springs and it seems to ride a bit better than the originals.

RCE springs dont work to well on SoCal roads/freeways.

I suggest eiither the JDM pinks or the Prodrives. Then get seats if you think you need them.

How-to Cure Bobblehead for cheap

Keep your seats. Just take it out and do this cheap mod. It worked for me. Takes 20-30 min to do.

There's also this one that I did:

[twiSTies]

You need more strut travel for bad roads than the stock struts can offer. I'd recommend a coilover with low spring rates or the RB320 kit because the different spring perches increased strut travel.
