Quick question, I plan on getting a set of 172's for my 530 and I am satisified with the drop. I am not satisified with the ride though. Can I upgrage just the struts and shocks to get a ride more like the sport model? Will it look funny with 19" wheels if I don't lower? Again., I am not dis-satisified with the drop. Finally, would I benefit from swaybars? Thanks for everyone's help in this difficult(for me) decision.

Get coilovers, (KT street comforts V2), they rock. Otherwise, get my setup, its great lower-cost alternative. Sway bars are excellent for anti-roll when cornering but will do you no good as far as comfort in every day driving. See my gallery for photos of 19"s lowered. If you get 19" wheels and don't lower it... yea, I think it would look kinda stupid.

Also, talk to Nerweezy from Trinity Autosport or go to www.trinityautosport.com. They're good people with fair pricing.

thanks man

sways will only help in turns and cornering. shocks and struts will stiffen up the ride a bit, make it more sporty.

adjustable shocks sound like what you need.

KW coils are great if you can swing that kind of money. But shocks will make a huge difference.

Talk to Trinityautosport

They can hook you up.
