I had just h&R springs before.. It sucked balls.. too ruff and bouncy. You could feel everything with a whole lot drama. Now i have koni yellows and H&R's . as far a ride goes. everything is 50% better i would say. You can still feel everything but with alot less drama (these springs are stiff). there is still some float on wavy roads but its far better. Its now at the point where anymore ruffness would be too much... Im ok with it. I need to adjust the rears so i can set it a bit softer. (i have it a bit more than 1 turn from full soft)... i recommend you get them asap especially if the roads where you live are bad like mine. handling wise seems to be way better from only the limited times I have attempted to take some corners or on-ramps..Needs more testinig lol
..after struts set your toe to 0 all around. your caster will be fine at around -1.4 front and -2 rear.
..and get some Adjustable sway bars < probably the bet "feeling" mod for this car...
OHH i forgot .. tires are the most important part of your suspension... get some sticky tires like the dunlop star spec's, re-01's, kumho xs, azenis 615, hanook z212's...
other than that there is nothing out there yet that is worth your money.. there might be some hardened LCA bushings, but I think they are only for the mz3.. that would be the last thing on the laundry list... what we really need is to reduce the torque steer and wheel spin HA
