What coilovers did you have? I have a set of Tein CS (aluminum body version, but the steel ones are claimed to ride even better) and there was very little difference between those and stock with the CS valving set in the softer range. I switched them back and forth with stock (as much of a PITA as that was) and was able to compare the ride back-to-back two different times, and on stock wheels/tires as well as the 19" Pilot Sport A/S Plus. There was very little difference in the ride. In fact, it might be possible to dial in the feel so close that you couldn't tell the difference if you played with the valving adjustment, but I'm not sure. The only thing that I think I could detect was that the spring rate on the CS was a little stiffer, but even that was very minor. I kinda, sorta thought I could feel a tiny bit more harshness coming through on some road surfaces, but again, it might have been my imagination, and even if it was real, it was about the smallest difference that one could detect. Of course on our billiard-table-smooth roads around here one wouldn't feel differences as much as in some place with horrible roads, say, like Chicago.

I've had a bunch of different suspension setups on diff cars(JIC coils, ground control/KYB AGX, Tein Basics, Megan coils, to a couple diff just spring setups). My last car had Megan coils. I just love how this car rides, and don't want to mess it up. Now if you say the CS rides close enough to stock, then maybe I'll have to try that.

Haven't really put up a lot of pics cause I'm not done tweaking the front suspension / stance. I don't live in FL anymore because I relocated to SD for the Navy.
