i remember rolling on the stockies. they where pretty gushy for my taste.
so then the 17's 205/40/17 i noticed a good improvement in handling over stock road noise appeared, not alot but it is there. bumps where a little more noticeable. but I like to feel the road a bit.
then GC coilovers, Koni shocks, front strut bar, spc camber kit and soon to put on, OEM front cross brace . and soon to purchase rsx 19mm sway bar. This is the suspension that I was aiming for. a little on the rough side for some but not for me but. the adjustability and handling are great and will get better with the sway bar.

riding on 215/35/18's 2.5" drop and isn't harsh at all, rides firm. only issues i have is some ocational bumpy roads. but i pretty much know where all the defects in the roads is in my area so its no a problem. unkown areas i just take my time and drive like a grandma [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
