ST or Tien Flex Z have the best ride quality by far. BCs will slam the car but be a bit bouncy

I know a lot of people do not like but I love sportlines. I have 3 years on the car and I have no signs of breaking or anything. it's like the day I installed. I bought because of my tight budget and it makes the job

Bonus pics
