advice from some suspendsion pros please

I have 46K on my 300c... suspension replacement is nearing in the future 15k miles...

I have not been happy with the stock 300c ride, too mushy... I realize this was done because the 300 is a luxury car not a performance car, but I want it to be stiffer, esp going into high speed corners..

so...

what is the best suspension kit out there for the LX's? that is priced under $1000, air? coil over? stiffer springs?

i don't mind lowering the car slightly to accomplish this... so any ideas?

You know I’m not a suspension expert, but why not look into what Meister has done with his 5.7? After all he is the king of taking the 5.7 to places no one’s been before. Here are a few links. Just a suggestion. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful little girl!

KW V2 impressions and settings

Meister's KW adjustment port mod

There over a $1000.00, but it's the best KW V2's coil overs. The flexibily and the performance are the best bar none. You can adjust the height and the damper (ride quality) to what you want. I've had them for over a 1 1/2 and my car is extreme, they are awesome. Check with HHP on pricing.

You will have a schrader (tire) valve at each corner and fill up with a compressor.
