We have a lot of erosion problems around La Jolla and there are many potholes and uneven spots in the road, so there are times when I curse the new setup as we get jarred around a bit. However all that is forgotten in those La Jolla Gran Prix moments, making all the green lights and taking the corners at top speed in a narrow lane. There are compound handling characteristics between the suspension, wheels, and tires, and I am certainly no expert on which component does what, and by how much.
The dampers certainly lower the stance in general and improve the appearance greatly. I believe they give it a firmer feel when accelerating, braking and when in the turns, and you can really feel the road when its rough.
Lynn, Thanks for the update and thanks in particular for letting me test drive your car - your mods have really changed the car for the better! Also, if you're interested in adding leather, here is the
information; you can also add
new paneling like wood or aluminum easily (Use code forum or forums to get 10% off). Side moldings can also be added,

side turn signal upgrade.
