the only way you'll get trackworthy but still compliant suspension is something like ohlins or kw coilovers. expensive euro (but f@#kin awesome) shit. dms maybe??

I have Spec C suspension.

Awesome ride for day to day however everyone has their own opinions on comfort levels.

Yeah, I've actually been paying much more attention to this suspension thing now I have other peoples takes, and it's actually 2 different issues that compound to make one shitty one. Firstly, the suspension is harsher than my Liberyt GT (that had Teins), so I needed to get used to that. The second issue is that I get engine surging at 2-3k RPMs in the 1-3rd gears.

So what happens is I'm not actually bumping up and down (which is why I though I was struggling to keep a constant foot pressue on the gas). It's actually surging, which makes the car jerk back and forth, which then makes it difficult to keep constant pressure, which then makes it worse coz my foot is slightly coming on and off gas.

One of these days, I'll get to some of these cruises and hopefully compare other peoples rides!

Anyways, been following another thread with others that have the same issue, and hope this will solve my ride discomfort.

It doesn't however change the fact that I'm a wuss...

Take it to a workshop to diagnose. Internet mechanics will not be able to fix this issue.
