HI, i have an 05' tC with a stock suspension and would like a softer much more luxurious ride. What do i need to do?

 

luxurious......

i dont think thats gonna happen.....if you want i smoother ride that means you need a different car.....

 

get airbags

 

So i am needing a better suspension to provide a softer ride. Any suggestions?

 

i dont really know what you can do to have a smoother ride....

 

stock is as smooth as it gets lol

 

maybe get bigger tires? i ono

 

IMO stock was pretty smooth....but if you want smooth get coilovers ;) just kidding like ilovemytc said "try bigger tires?"

 

maybe your shocks are showing their age. i noticed that even though i replaced my stock shocks and struts with trd's which have a higher damping rate, the tC seemed more compsed over bumps. it made the ride feel smoother. i think replacing the shocks and struts is the only option short of a coilover setup with custom spring and damping rates.

 

Well if you wanted a smoother ride, you should have gotten a more expensive car. You pay for luxury. But If you really want to try and get a smoother ride your best best bet is probably going to be airbags. You can try and swap out shocks to something softer, but you're def going tom be sacrificing handling if you do. Just my $.02

 

OEM suspension is about as soft as the tC gets. You could try new struts if yours are worn out. Or consider a taller sidewall tire. Maybe a 215/50/17?

 

Put pillows on your seat.

the larger the sidewall of the tire, the more "suishy" it is going over bumps.... the tC is by far not a luxury car, nor will it ever drive like one... If you want a smooth luxurious ride, get a buick or a caddy.... tC is not going to give you what you are looking for....



And airbag suspension may do the trick but it is EXPENSIVE.......
