True I haven't had any experiences with the aftermarket brakes though so I couldn't really be the judge of them

This is what my car looks like now. I already know bigger rims will make the ride less comfortable. I want a suspension that will make it as comfortable as possible with the rims... they are 22inchs with 255/35/ZR22 tires by Nexen. Can anyway give me a list of suspension upgrades.
PS.. people who hav negative things to say about the rims please keep it to urself

Clean *ss SS bruh! I love the wheels too. And with him squattin' its gonna really look clean.Here's what I think would work for ya...
1- New front upper control arms ball joints and bushings
2- New front stock springs(Moog)
3- 2" drop spindles for the front
4- 1.5" to 2" rear drop springs
5- new shocks all around
6- new bushings and end links on your SS sway bar
7- Since the whole front will be apart, get some new wheel bearings
You will need to roll your rear fenders so they dont rub the 255 tires out back. I could be missing something. If I think of anything else I'll add it....Keep the pics comin bruh. She's a beauty!!

I agree with Warren on the stock coils, the nice thing about spindles is that you keep the factory shock length the same because they are just changing the height of the spindle, not the control arms.
You know what bro..I thought you were the dude I was just chattin with about on what products to use to drop the SS. Sorry bout that...

No problem. I dont want to drop it at all. The 22s are squating perfect in the front. I have rear air shocks so thats why Its doin the front nose dive. I want to keep the muscle car look. I gonna go with a tallin tire in the rear for a better fit muscle "look" mayb a 255/40 or 45. But I just want a better ride quality
When you say better ride quality do you mean in a 'sporty better handling' way, or 'soft comfortable' way?

BOTH.. I have the 22inch rims. with rear air shocks. its a bouncy ride n i dnt like it. SHould I use front n rear coil over springs?

Yes air shocks will not give you a good ride in any way. I've heard lots of good about the Edelbrock IAS shocks. Some new springs (I know nothing about springs, but I'm sure someone here can help with that), and I'm gonna guess that your car already has the F-41 sway bars already.
But with those wheels there will probably always be a bit of that 'bumpiness', because our tires also absorb a lot too. And the lower profile the tires, the less of an absorbing effect you're gonna get from the tires. But with modern shocks your goal should be possible. I had a new Lancer as a rental car a few months ago. That thing rode smoother than any car I've ever driven, and also carved corners better than anything I've driven too, so it is possible.
