scenario:
i've been reading about the 2nd gen gs suspension for a while now. i was wondering if you can help me. currently i have my car dropped with tein flex on stock 17s. i also have a crazy vibration at 60mph.
questions:
1. i am unhappy with the ride quality of the tein flex's (too rough) but i like the drop it gives me. i would like the softest ride i can get with my current drop. i'm more concerned with comfort rather than handling since i'm a slow daily driver. i'm looking into purchasing the tein cs v2 but i am worried that the cs's won't give me the drop i want. my question is how can i measure how low my car is currently dropped? is there a standard measurement? I want to see if the cs’s can drop as low as the flex’s are now.
2. as for the vibration and steering, i have decided to replace the lower ball joints along with the steering rack bushings and installing new oem control arm bushings. i read about changing the outer tie rods, what does that do?
3. can someone tell me what toms 6 links and toms lower bracing are and what they do?
4. is there anything else i can do to increase the comfort of my car?
Thanks.

I do not know the condition of your car; therefore, I can't tell you exactly what to do. I can only share my experience in hopes that you may have a similar delimma.
