I must be getting old. Suspension suggestions for ride comfort.

I want to keep the SFCs for chassis anti flex (it also cut down on creaks)

Other than that I'd also like to keep my DMS lowering springs too.

what I have on my car:

Lakewood Boxed lower control arms
DMS Lowering Springs
SLP take off shocks
BMR panhard bar
BMR relocation brackets
SFCs


What are my options, and the general prices...

try using a different control arm. one with either rubber ends or a rubber/rod ended unit. i'm running home brew control arms with rod ends on the axle and bushings on the frame. smooth as glass, lighter than stock and full flexibility.

SLP take off as in the orange DeCardon shocks that were removed in favor of Bilsteins or Koni? If so, this is your problem. Stock shocks with aftermarket springs.

What are the spring rates on those springs? They may be the limiting factor even with properly valved shocks (which you don't have)

I definitely need budget shocks, but I guess anything would be an upgrade over the oranger stockers I got.
