I may track the car a couple times this year, but mostly roadtrips and mountain driving...I drive it pretty hard and really hate the stock set up, the body roll is real bad and the gap with 18's is obscene.

TIA

Default TrackSport vs StreetSport - how much difference in ride quality for a daily driver?

And how much difference when taking it through some twisties?

Default AFAIK, Street Sports are std Koni coilovers with the cad plating.

progressive springs with non-customizable spring rates, non-custom valving in the dampers.

i would take the fixed height enthusiast with the Stasis custom valved dampers over the StreetSports.

Yes. The Abt COs are way too soft. MTM's not much better.

Default Really? I thought that their spring/shock combo was pretty soft, but the C/O's were supposed to be

pretty stiff...based on some post I read recently of someone swapping to H&R streets based on the stiffness of the ABT c/o's.
Either way, it sounds like Stasis is the strongest contender. I may get a slammin deal on a set of used H&R ultras though, so I may have to snag those.

Unless there were changes made recently but the two Abt COs S4s I drove, soft and bouncy.
