Ok so I have read everything on this site and Im confused.
I bought the 2/4 with cornering from tony.

Im not bashing the kit yet as I havent installed the rear hardware yet, BUT I am not too pleased with the ride quality.

Right now I'm giving the kit the benefit of the doubt and saying the issue Im having is because I havent done the rear hardware but everyone says belltech is better than stock with the exception of Modded who seems to swear by pedders rear coils...

Im not sure what to do my car MUST be lowered but I want to keep all the quality I can!

Help me!

As of right now this is what my car has on it
Belltech adjustable struts
Belltech rear shocks with extenders
5303 coils with spacer
djm rear sway bar with stock links

pending install
sway bar relocation
sway bar shorter end links
front sway bar
trailing arm relocation
....i think thats it

Also feel free to tell me if anything about this is extremely stupid.

Have you completed the Free Travel Mod? Without that, you're going to get a pretty crappy ride no matter what you do.

What size wheels/tires you running? I'm running the Same kit with 22" 285/45/22 and it rides awesome! You may want to try adjusting the air ride links (if it has air ride) I just installed the spacer on the left side to rid the chevy lean and shortened the links to 2.75" and it rides and looks sweet.

What's this?

Free travel mod is where you cut the bump stop bracket completely off the frame.

Dont get me wrong I think my car looks awesome lowered and in the end I'll be compensating ride quality for lowness but I want to stay at 2/3 and have the best possible ride!
This kit already much better than my last BS kit from Matix! I just had higher hopes for ride quality. This is my first lowered car and second kit on it.

Are your shocks new on all four corners? I have the belltech 2/4 on my burb and it rides better than stock. Some of your ride issues could be tire related too...
