I have a good ride and im running on a 18" wheel with a 40 tire. Its not bouncy at all 1/4 away from full firm on the Koni's. I can go down about another 1.25 inches on the GC's. My car handles like its on rails. The ride is not bad compared to my other friends cars and its perfectly livable by all means. You just feel the bumps a little more over the stock SVT suspension. Gotta look out for the big ones. I have no body roll in my car what so ever right now. Well at least none ive been going fast enough to find. If you get the GC make sure you do yourself a favor and get the Koni's.

Koni's are Infact worth the money!
I didn't want to spend the money..... I'm very glad I did.....
P.S. Does anybody want to trade a set of Eibach Springs for an adjustable set? H&R or Ground control?

mancho, I just received my car back from HMS. I had the GC's installed with Konis and an Aussie bar all at the same time. It kicks tail in the corners (and im not referring to lift throttle oversteer)!  As far as the ride, Im relieved. It is a little over sprung, but of course, harshness is relative and a personal preference issue. I have the adjustments all at Terry's starting point, 50%: about half way down and shocks at mid-dampening. Its nice. Dont throw away your money on cheap sheit. Buy the Konis when you can. I've had my GC's for about a year, but the wait was worth it. If you're at the meet this saturday you'll have to take it for a spin.
