2k2EXCOUPE will become famous soon enough
The only reason it may give a worse ride would be due to the less available strut travel room.

I know with the Teins which I am currently running, and hopefully the B&G's which I will be running next week, a lower ride doesnt mean a shittier ride. Just more of a bitch to drive.

With Hayame's, no. To adjust the height, you're adjusting the strut so that you don't lose shock travel, so the quality stays the same at all heights.

However, this doesn't mean you can lower yourself 1 inch off the ground and the ride will be the same. If you go too low you'll still be able to bottom out the shocks.

B+Gs have amazing shock travel. You could be totally slammed, and the strut travel and ride quality remain the same.
