WEEEEEE!!!!
There is nothing terribly useful about this post other than to endorse the Koni/GC coilover setup on my EG6.
I've had the koni's set to the middle adjustment since they were installed and finally played around with it this weekend. HOLY CRAP! I had no idea the adjustments made such a difference. On full firm I lost almost all body roll and felt the full effects of my puny rear sway bar. It was a bit of a rough ride though. Driving down a mildly rough road felt like someone was jumping up and down on the tailgate. I didn't really mind, but I wouldn't subject many passengers to that. Especially if they are prone to motion sickness.
Full soft on the other hand was equally noticeable. I gave it a shot when I went to pick my girlfriend up. By chance, we took some of the bumpiest roads the District of Columbia has to offer. No problems! Some of the larger bumps were bad, but you would have felt it in a Caddy as well. I still need to test out full soft on the interstate though. I suspect it will be nice.
I'll probably go back to the middle adjustment for daily duties, but it's nice to finally know what my options are. I'd highly recommend this setup to anyone who commutes, but wants to dog it in the turns occasionally.
