[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16547053, member: 117234"] Before I start just know that I have run 3 different configurations on my car so I can give a lot of input on ride quality and handling. Suspension setups are as fallows: Tokico Illuminas with stick axle, poly front control arm bushings (garbage) HDs with red race springs (IRS swap). Later added steeda control arm bushings also garbage then went to global west delrin. HD coilovers up front and race springs in the rear. The MM3 race shocks/struts are race only last I checked. I wouldn't expect them to be the slightest bit comfortable on the street. Before you step back to a conventional setup have you considered running the HDs in coilover fashion? I ask because of everything I've ran HDs with coilovers have been by far the most comfortable followed by the HDs with H&R red race springs. With this setup I was running a 325 spring up front and the ride is night and day different then the H&Rs up front. Yes even with the delrin bushings. The car flat out rode smoother and absorbed bumps better. My wife even commented on how much nicer it was to ride in. Keep in mind you already have the coilovers and all that would be needed is new springs to go with the HDs. You could easily sell your MM3s and springs to cover the cost. I would have MM toss in two new snap rings for the rear though, cheap insurance IMOP. I just wouldn't give up on the coilovers so soon having been through what I have with the car. My current setup is HDs and coilovers on all 4 corners but the car isn't drivable so I can't comment on it. I will say I went this route after feeling the difference on the front though. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
