Best ride

I am currently running my AWD on swift springs. I love the look, lowered the car about 2-3 inches, but I hate the ride. Will coilovers improve the ride? Would bagging it be the best ride? TY for your answers.

If Swifts dropped the car 2-3" and the ride sucks I'd check to make sure your suspension is operating properly. Swifts are more of a 1-1.5" drop and maintain a pretty cushy ride. I say this based on my own experience in an AWD coupe with Swifts and other people's opinions expressed on here. Dunno what your exact situation is but I'm surprised to hear you describe things that way.

Maybe the drop wasn't as much as I stated but I'm sure my suspension is operating correct I wonder if it's the fact when they sent me my new wheels and tires they are on the lowest profile tires I've ever seen they are Hankook Evo 12 But they are very low profile I wonder if that is affecting the ride quality

Looks like a typical Swift drop in the 1.5" range give or take. How many miles on the shocks?

Maybe look into getting a set of 19" or 18" wheels so you can have a little more tire. 20" wheels are going to be more of a harsher ride due to how low of a profile tire you need to run.

I wish I would've known that before I bought them but it's a little too late I love the wheels and I'm not willing to sacrifice the money to rebuy them in 19 inch size I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it
