Daizen Camber Kit, Comfort?

Ive been searching the suspension threads and havent really found any answers to this. But how much harsher is the ride with the Daizen camber kit (front and rear) ? Im reading about how its harsher, but by how much?

The most info I can find is the ride changes the most by changing the front upper control arm bushings. Anyone with the daizen camber kit care to comment?

I don't think it makes the ride harsher, i'm slammed on Tein CS with 19's and low pro's, ride is smooth, zero complaints from me...

Plus, I have perfect alignment and even tire wear at my height...

Thats good to know. How do the Tein CS handle? Do you drive your car hard at all?

I noticed a much more firm ride with front and rear Daizen camber kits. I'm on Tein Basics and also on 19s. I should get better coilovers.

i have everything that acleansc4 does, camber, lower, low pro 19s, tein cs... i feel like it's somewhat harsh on the bumpy roads here in norcal. i guess i'm somewhat spoiled by the way my dad's LS rides. on flat roads, it feels soft and gentle, but once it gets bumpy... it feels stiff. i'm glad i went with CS rather than something stiffer. even having the edfc set to 10/14, i feel bumps that in my dad's car, you would only hear.

to compare the stiffness, i'd say it was comparable to a supra tt i rode in with kyb shocks and lowering springs (forgot which brand).

I'm riding on EVERYTHING daizen like everyone above... slammed on 20's on Tein CS's. I'm loving every minute I drive the car now...

It rides fine to me! IT's more firm, but that's about it. My car handles like it's on rails now!

Yeah, sounds like you guys are running the same setup I plan on doing. Daizens all around with Tein CS. And hopefully some daizen or TRD sways.

My goal is to have the car feel stock in comfort level during cruising/daily driving. And when im turning/driving fun, I hope the car feels like its on rails.

I went from Espilers/Tokicos to stock blown suspension. I LOVE the smoothness and comfort during cruising. But making a quick lane change while going 70+ is kinda scary.
