Since I had to rush home after I pick up the car, I was only able to put 6 miles on the suspension. With the front being at 1/3 soft and the back at 2/3 soft, I found the ride to be very comparable to stock. If you rate the stock ride being a 3, this only made it a 2.5 or maybe a 2. The difference is very small. As far as how it drives, I honestly don't have enough miles or hard drives to know what the true difference is. Based on what I could feel, I can tell you to save your $2000 and just invest in a sway bar instead as the car still rolls. The new coilover did make the better in transition, but it didn't really make the car lean much less nor did it dramatically increase its responsiveness. I am going to go back out later tonight to see what I can find, but it's been disappointing so far given the money spent on it. My original goal was to go two seconds faster than my last track day, but I just don't see it happening with the way the car is.
this isnt very scientific, but how much did you lower yourself? for ME, when i went a solid inch lower than stock nismo heights, i felt body roll was reduced a good amount. probably helps that nismo's have stock upgraded sways though
