I did a full cycle. Stock sports suspension -> hr springs -> kw v2 -> ohlins
the sports were nice when the car was stock. Hr springs only, car was too low and harsh. The v2's were nice for the first year and half and then serious downhill. Very stiff ride even on soft settings and the car felt worse than a Kia in corners. Ohlins, very complient. Comfortable even when it's set to a stiffer setting. I'm running high spring rates as well and the ride quality is great.

One question for you - how do you like the Ohlins R/T suspension? Did you go from stock to the Ohlins, or did you have something in between? I'm having a custom-valved Ohlins suspension installed on my car tomorrow morning - in the afternoon we're joining the Industry Pool day at the Nurburgring to set everything up  |
