Most Comfortable One Piece Coilovers - For Grip

I took a nice long drive today up to PV in So-Cal to watch the sunset with the race car.

I enjoy driving the car around on the weekend once in a while.



As you know I am an expert in EFI and Engine Management tuning specifically for Nissans (and some other makes).

I currently am using the SPL KTS Coilovers for the S13. 8 Front 6 Rear.

The problem I am having is the dampers. The suspension is aggressive but the shock's leave much to be desired. Hitting a couple bumps in the road going along the mountain road is extremely harsh, but I am still using Azenis.

I will be upgrading tires to NT01's very soon, and have been told to hold out and that these will compliment the KTS. I doubt so because- the stiff sidewall will make this setup even more rigid over bump stops and cornering hard over corner edge track levees at high speeds.

So basically I am looking at moving away from this suspension and to something with more chassis feedback with less rigid damper, for more cushy ride. I am looking at the

1. Tein Flex Coilovers

If anyone has had some experience I would love to hear feedback.

The goal for my car is to have a low center of gravity with a smooth and NOT bumpy ride, with decent driver feedback from the car-suspension.

Thanks for any tips and ideas - etc.
