Is it possible to have coil overs that ride as comfortably

its sitting an inch lower than stock right now and I'm not running the helper springs either. I have to double check wit a buddy but I'm sure I had 5 turn of preload up front and 5+ on the back. The front dampening is at 4 and the back is at 5.
Heres a pic of the current stance

The total shock travel doesn't 100% define the ride quality

Is that your CEL or your seatbelt light that's on?

20:48:50 07/12/10
Hicas light because I'm too lazy to take the cluster apart
-
Wright (Ca)
20:54:52 07/12/10
That'll help with the ride if they adjust the preload.

If you disabled your HICAS, remove the 2nd plug on the PSECU (n/m)

Hey Brett, I guess I am using the term bounce incorrectly.
