Default want lowering springs and shocks with almost stock feel

does anyone know of a good set of springs and shocks that could lower my car about 1.5" and still give a stock ride feel because I want to lower it, but I dont want to lose the ride quality. I want something that will still enable me to take corners at a decent speed and then have a nice ride quality. Also what is the best sway bar that is available for a '97 SC300 to stiffen the chassis some.

Yes I have searched and I can find plenty on which suspension people like the most and different set ups, but I cant seem to find much of anything on suspension systems that ride as nice as the stock set-up.

lol. Splatsc300 has a point. This type of question comes up maybe every week. I don't think you'll be short of threads on this topic.

Default lowered stock ride

You NEED to talk to DRAGON about the "Buddy Club" system. It is cheaper than the rest and has VERY serious advantages. One of those is that it will ride like stock on the lowest setting. The way it lowers you car you still have stock wheel travel. As I understand it you can "set up" the suspension for wheel load like the pro racers do. Which is to say the very optimum suspension tuning for any reason.

There is a recent post about this.

Hope this helps

John
