Default Most comfortable shocks for a 5th gen?

Hey guys, I'm looking for just a comfortable riding set-up. I'm not so much interested in anything for the track, just something that is good for everyday drivability and will offer a smooth, comfortable ride, preferably better than stock.

A BASE 5th gen will see improvement is ride with the use of Koni shocks. If they are beyond your budget then the KYB AGX might be another choice. If you are interested in both a firmer/lower ride then you can add a set of Neuspeed Sport or H&R Sport springs to either shock. However, the KONIs will last and perform better. Some will suggest other combinations, the Koni/Neuspeed is what I have and it is much better for the road IMO.

The stock shocks are the most harsh!

KONIS on the softest setting blow them away. Kinda like the Bilsteins on the EVO MR, they are 30% softer than the stock EVO shocks, but higher quality yields a better ride AND handling.

Yeah, I don't want Koni's because I don't want to spend more than $500 on shocks. But, I think I may just go with the KYB AGX's. I spoke to a guy who has them on a Mark IV Supra, and he loves them.

You will be happy with the AGX or the Tokico Illuminas. PM me with your vehicle info for pricing. We can set you up with either set.
