the suspension i have sucks so the ride quality is crap...
can't wait to change it out

also, putting wear and tear on everything is making me a bit sad too...plus the gas mileage... *sigh*
oh...not to mention i need new tires...and maybe wheels

and the interior is getting wear too... since it's all custom i wanted to try and keep it in good condition but since i'm daily'n it (is that even a word???hahaha) it's kind of getting worn... *sigh*

you know what's funny, i get a lot of people who don't really know about cars asking me what i did it... takes a while to explain too... down to tearing about the whole interior and changing out small little LEDs just to make them blue... and tearing apart the gauge cluster just to change the color of the needles. people just don't realize that there's a lot more into a car than what you see on the outside... and even at that, when you point out the spoilers, the mesh grill inserts, the jdm window visors...everyone thinks the car came that way...

i know you said they were megan coils but a specific model ??

Cary when you say the ride sucks, is it bouncy or just harsh from lack of stroke?

it's way bouncy. there's no lack of stroke... that's there... it's just the ride is very harsh since these are the prototypes...
