Just don't do the slip-on coil overs unless you want to feel every pebble in the road. Been there, done that, it sucked!

The design of the coilovers likely have nothing to do with that, spring rates and damper matching (to the rates) is a far more likely suspect. A threaded sleeve coilover system with the same damper rebound/compression as a threaded body system and the same spring rates will be identical.

How much shock travel do you have in the front and aren't you're front upper control arms smashing into the shock tower every time you hit a bump?

Just curious becuase that ride height looks pretty low to be running on a set-up where ride height reduction = loss of shock travel.

that's what i was thinking. there's no way that's a fast setup on anything besides a really smooth track. that's about as slammed as slammed gets without dragging

the yellow teg with the white wheels above looks much more in line with what would work to keep the tires in contact with the ground over changebacks and daily driving.

i can understand f1 cars being that low because they are always on a supersmooth track going god knows how fast...but for a car that sees only crappy city streets and occasional track time that doesnt seem like the most ideal setup. just my .02 cents
