I am putting CST's this weekend. I'll let you know how those ride...

I think what you want are softer springs and lighter tires if "A Soft Ride" is what you're after. Shocks wont do that alone.

Stop the crap newbie.
It doesn't impress anyone and will NOT get you any answers.
The SEARCH function is there for your benefit. Don't be smart *** just because someone points that out. Same with CAPS. No reason to lock caps. No reason for excessive use of these............... Learn to post like everyone else please.
The first thing you should do when looking for an answer is to search the forum because someone else has probably had a similar problem and has been answered. generally there are thousands of answers especially in regards to shocks.
First thing which most newbie's do is sign up and post up their issue without ever searching, so learn to take crap when you don't follow protocol.
