i, like most of you, struggled with the give and take of comfort and performance...
i had been in cars equipped with the full blown performance H&R/Bilstein setup
and did NOT like the harshness--my mechanic calls these street cars that are set
up for track "turd wagons"...

i then researched Dinan products, but since i was upgrading for a combination of
performance AND aesthetics, i decided that the Dinan setup didn't give me enough
"bang for the aesthetic buck" because of minimal lowering...

i stumbled across the Sachs setup by accident and figured it was middle of the road...

the car is comfortable when driving aggression is at a minimum...when the adrenaline
flows and the heart rate is up the car handles like it is on rails...i am extremely impressed!

if in doubt...go with the Sachs Sporting Suspension...

pics are in the registry--check 'em out
