Not very stiff at all actually. It is just as stiff at 1/3 of the way dampening as my Megan LP's were at full stiff!

Yikes.. with those rates the ride would be very uncomfortable for me, you probably feel every single rock and crack in the road F-Sport sways would have done the trick I think, unless you already have them. I hope you have good tires to pick up the slack!

They're actually very comfortable running aftermarket 18's with V12's

I just mean for me personally lol. I don't want my daily driver to be comfortable to me but uncomfortable to others, so I got a set of coils what walks that line very carefully

The seats in our cars help a lot with absorbing shock haha. Nobody has ever complained about the ride being too stiff.

You can't be serious with that comment about the seats. The fact that people haven't complained doesn't mean that they're uncomfortable. They could just be being nice But I won't argue about this any further, comfort is subjective anyway. Carry on

Went to a junkyard with a friend to help him look for parts and stumbled upon this 2011-1013 front bumper and decided to buy it lol. Now I need to figure out what parts I need to order from sewell to convert a 2010 bumper to 2011-13 bumper. If anyone has a complete list that would be appreciated. Probably on the lookout for LED headlights too. Just need to repaint this bumper no cracks or missing tabs.
