Hey Tyler,

You rode in my car just after I switched to M2 Coilovers/Tochiko's. How does my car compare to yours now? I think my ride is too stiff even with the tochiko's set to the softest level. I know we are talking about shocks here, but springs make a huge difference as well.

John,

From memory (not the most reliable of things in my case), I would say that our suspensions handle bigger bumps about the same with my Konis set to almost full soft. I think my small bump/ripple ride quality is better. Of course, when the Konis are turned up to hard, it's unbearable (and feels like it will damage the car) except on the track. You can ask David how much of a stiffness increase one full turn to hard on the Koni's makes....

I will be posting a full review of the HKS Springs/Koni shocks combo soon, now that I've gotten street, auto-x, and road racing experience with them...
