Default Suspension Soft/Harshness rank: KW V1, H&R CO, Eibach/Koni, Koni Threaded, Eibach Bilstein

1. Koni Threaded,
2. Eibach Bilstein
3. KW V1
4. H&R Coilovers
5. Tein Basic and SS Coilovers
6. Eibach/Koni

That's my feeling so far from reading various threads. It's a generic statement, but are there any inputs on the interpretation? or other suspension combo's you'd include?

Default I thought my H&R's were pretty hard until I road in a friend's new 350z.

Now they feel like wobbly sticks.

What are you looking for in a suspension?
I'd consider the Eibach/KONI spring/shock setup the softest of the bunch. Soft springs with KONI shocks will make a comfortable ride much like factory sport suspension.

Might also consider the Vogtland CO setup as well, they're much like the KONI CO, but with slightly more firm springs. It's a very good combination for the street.

Default No.

If you mean compression and rebound adjustment then no. Only KW V3, and some of the higher end Stasis kits offer double adjustability.
You're looking at kits easily near the $2k mark for dual adjustments.
