Default Suspension update

Well here are some thoughts on Koni/BMR.

Previously the car suspension modifications were control arms and adjustable panhard rod

I updated to the Koni/BMR combo, lower control arm mounts, Fikse 505A 18/19 combo, New sway bar endlinks

Ride Height... good height probably wrenched down on endlinks too much

Ride Comfort a little choppy over rough roads but not to bad

Cornering.. i can see a noticeable difference in the turns taking most turns somewhere between 15-20 Mph faster in turns.

Im more or less happy with the suspension but am pretty sure im going to go to Strano sway bars to finish off the package.

I'll put a pictures in a little bit overall very happy

Is the ride comfort bearable? I live in a bunch of rough roads and im holding myself back from lowering it.

In for pics though.

I think the ride is fine... it may get a little uncomfortable on bad spots but as a whole they are fine.. but also they are on the stiffest setting so i didnt take a chance in hitting the wheels.
