There's something to be said for the stock suspension...
I know it looks like a 4x4.
I know it pushes in the corners.
And I know it has more body roll than Rosie O Donnell.
But damn, it sure rides nice on the highway. Especially when I'm driving ~150 miles everday. And, especially compared to tracksports with a blown shock and what seem to be the wrong spring rates. I am going to send them into Stasis and see what they can do with them. Fix them up and change out the springs. Although, I don't plan on tracking the car anymore, so I'm not sure what my ultimate goal is with them.

Tires also have a big effect on ride comfort.
When I was on stock P6000s I thought the car was comfortable. Then I bought 18" wheels and went with Yoko tires and to my surprise the ride was even more comfortable than before. Then I bought SP9000 for the 18" wheels and the ride was even more comfortable. SP9000 are little too soft as far as handling so I think I'm going to something a little stiffer next time.

I've been on my Vogtlands for like 3K now and I can honestly say I like them better
than stock on the highway. Stock suspension was so undersprung on the highway it just felt way too loose for me. You like the Vogts better than the TS's?
