i m still running on my factory shocks just curios if there should be a big difference in the comfortability of ride on a wet road then a dry road or its just the shocks that they are shitty?

it will feel a bit slippier on wet but ride comfort should be about the same i think

do the springs have something to do with this? as my car feels really bumpy on dry roads while on wet roads its much smoother. or it could be something to do with tyres?

irmy shocks? didnt no you could get them, you may be better get springs and shocks from the same maker i.e eibach. this way they will be matched, also a good brand tyre is worth buying and get the geometary set up when you get it lowered

yeah if the wheels are not running ''parallel'' it affects the ride quality
