I’m looking for some help to soften the ride of the rear suspension specifically. I have had the full TVS kit from Hothckis installed for about 8 months and love the way the front of the car handles/rides, however the rear suspension could knock your dental work out. Any tips on softening this ride up a little?
Current Rear Setup:
1. Hotchkis TVS Kit - http://www.hotchkis.net/product/201...tchkis-suspension/?mk=54&yr=2012&md=688&sm=39
2. Koni STR.T shocks (orange)
3. 20x10 Wheels
4. Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 – 285/30/20
My first thought is the tires, which I don’t particularly like my current tires. I understand that they currently have a very short, and therefore very stiff, sidewall. Would going with a taller sidewall be of considerable help? I’m thinking my next set of rear tires will likely be Nitto NT555R 305/35/20.
My second thought would be shocks. Is it time to upgrade to a nicer and possibly adjustable shock, maybe koni yellow?
Lastly, it is time to throw some grease at this pig. Should I also consider swapping out bushings with something that has more give?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and please let me know if more information would be helpful.
Thanks,
Ross
