I think you made the right choice to go with linears.

My take is that with any halfway sane rate, the ride simply gets 'firm'. Harshness comes from street-intended shocks that aren't valved very well (and in my experience, last decade's Tokico Illuminas are the poster-boy for having bad damping curves).

Ended up picking up the Steeda Linear springs since I might be doing an HPDE event on Labor Day weekend. Very excited to put those on with my new wheels!
Great choice!

I know it's just the start, though, lol. Want to make this a good track/canyon carver. :)

Hit David up to get more of the Steeda goodies. You won't be disappointed, trust me. The transformation from my stock GTPP to my Steeda supplied GTPP is a night and day difference. Can't wait for my wider, stickier tires arrive :)

Well, I have to say, after going for a drive on these today, I LOVE them. The ride is not harsh at all, even on less than ideal roads. The bounce is also gone, and the car just sits so much better. Thank you, Steeda! :thumbsup:
