Admittedly this was sometimes the case when my suspension was brand new and i had the 'treat every bump like a mountain' mentality. I got bored of that after a while, and went back to treating the car normally (ish) and the Coilovers have softened up loads.
I can happily drive over speedbumps in a flow of traffic at 20+ MPH and the every bump and undulation thing has been lessened a lot aswell. If anything it adds to the day to day driving because i have a good feel of the road, very responsive, but not too intrusive on the school run etc...
Each to their own, thats the key to modding. I am happy to sacrifice, to some extent, the day to day optimum ride for the knowledge i could take it in the track with no changes and it would be set up just how i like it!!
I guess it isnt for anyone to tell you what to do, just do what you want, not what everyone else thinks you should do!!
If you take a look at the current run of "tarmac terrorists" i.e Evo's, Suburu's, RS6, etc, etc.... none of them are absolutely slammed. I recognise there is a compromise for road use but a bit of 'soak' in the suspension is what makes it all happen. I'm not an engineering expert or mechanic - i'm sure someone will be along to contradic me soon, just my 10p worth really.
BTW - your car looks great
Indeed... by all accounts the average motorist isnt looking to make ANY sacrifices to day-to-day driving confort. Most people buy a car for convenience so they dont have to take the bus. Their choice or car is simply a way of expressing themselves, and to an extent a status symbol (pub bragging rights). The number of said Evo's, Scooby's etc i see being driven by 'Miss Daisy' types pee's me off no end.
Hmmm, not to sure about that - you can tell me you drive like you sat on a wasp ALL the time? (maybe you do!! ) Just cos you drive a fast car doesn't mean you HAVE to drive it fast? I think someone once said "with great power, comes great responsibility" - Spiderman film I think
Dont i know it... when i first got it, it was good step up from my 1.6. Drove almost exactly the same, just quicker. At first i did drive it how i drove my 1.6, and soon realised it was vastly unnecessary.
Maybe i have mellowed out in general or just realised it is fast enough not to have to abuse it 24/7 i have become a lot more sedate. If i fancy a quick blast down the Motorway or back lanes or fancy a bit of Chav-bashing she is ready and waiting for me, if just on the school run, she is nice and composed...
sounds like you've got your car exactely how you want it.
