Though my Brembo car is a lot stiffer than my Sport/Touring was. The seats are more comfortable but the car itself is rougher on long trips. I'd say it's as stiff as a NISMO, maybe even a little stiffer.
That is physically impossible. When one tire dips into a bump, the other's contact patch will change and be inferior to what it could have been, had it not been married to the other. It may feel the same inside the car, but it's not. There is no way it could be.

I'm not knocking it, it works darn well, and yes, I am splitting hairs, but if it WEREN'T better, why would Ford be planning to add IRS for the 2014 redesign? Why did they not use SRA on their Ford GT Supercar?
