For that cool "hellaflush" look, babe!
Nah, j/k, but seriously, you bought a rotary sports car for comfort? WTF?
Dont you know the true nature of a real 7 is to be loud as f**k and uncomfortable, bone jarring, wicked awesome, kick everyones ass at the track/ auto-x, and handle like it's on rails?
Also, I can understand that you might not have the time/ability to track your car, but even then....
My car rides already rides like shit, the suspension is real soft, but all the bumps and stuff feel like in a car with coils. Maybe your ride is a lot better with new shocks, but I would trade a soft and shitty ride for a firm and a little less shitty ride any day.
Then, there is also the issue of price. I would pay roughly $500 for new shocks. A set of stance GR+ can be had for $1,000 (if you know people) and then you can get softer springs for that. Adding to that the ride height, corner weight, and stiffness adjustability, and I just can NOT see what the big deal is.
I a lot of people seem to be all like "OMFG coilovers, they are too stiff, they suck, I like to have a comfortable car.... blah blah blah, etc. Get over your self. it's not "THAT" fucking bad.
On top of that, not all "coilovers" are these "Super stiff monsters" some people claim them to be. Some are, but there are also versions geared for more comfortable ride, and adjustability over cornering. TEIN has good models for street driving. Stance offer softer springs for their products, and ground control sleeves can be paired with an adjustable shock like a KYB agx, which can be stiffened up, and then softened for the ride home.
I've driven cars with coilovers, ridden in a lot of them, and know enough to give a good suggestion. Do you have any first hand experience with them?
