I shamelessly copied @t_g_farrell 's setup for shocks and am *very* happy. I have RB springs. I dialed everything to softest front and rear and had a super comfortable highway run with my wife, who actually enjoyed the smooth, compliant ride. And the roads here are generally ugly. On my own, I tighten up the front about 90%, the rear about 50% of the ranges and it's a joy.

My whole goal with the setup was to make it more comfy so my wife would want to ride along. I get the best of both now.

That is a good set up and thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the advice. It is great how we can adapt to what products are still available in the market. A softer ride on our roads is preferable.

It is a beautiful day today so both the 7s were out at the campus of our local University. These are a few of the photos I took. As I drove the convertible into the campus, a hottie driving a nice Honda Civic said "love the car"!. I would encourage you to consider removing the roofs of your 7s immediately😁!
