        Dinan Shocks or Springs give a 'harder' ride ?

        HI folks,
        Which of these give a 'harder' ride ? I'm not wanting to change the ride any, at all... but want a little better handling without affecting the -ride- any ?
        I'm thinking of getting the Swaybar and Camber Plates as well...

        Shock give a harder ride ?

        Springs give a harder ride ?

        Rob,

        I don't mean to sound like a smart aleck but I didn't have the Stage III installed piecemeal so it's very difficult for me to answer the question.

        Logically, I'd guess that the shocks would account for the slighty stiffer ride. I think so anyway...

        Let's see some other replies from guys who have more knowledge of suspension systems.

        Regards,

        DWP

        actually, the ride quality improves a little with Dinan stage III.. I don't have it on my car, but from some of the people that I know who has it, they swear that the ride quality has improved and it's no longer so harsh, especially going over potholes.... on my DFC suspension, it's the same thing when I have it on sport mode... the ride is definitely more comfortable than stock, but handles much better.. I don't know how it is possible, but it just is... I think it's the way the shocks are designed...

        I have the Stage 3 and the ride IS harsher, although you can only really feel it going overa bumpy road or pothole.
