This is kind of a stupid arguement, and flat wrong in a street car. My C5 sees many different driving situations, and I want a suspension setup that can reflect those situations.

My coilovers on my RX7/LS1 are made by Cusco and are 5 way adjustable. (1 being the softest, 5 the stiffest)

Quite simply, I can alter my supension completely in 2 minutes to suit my driving style.

On a road trip, I run (1,1) - front rear

Around town, I run (2,1)

If I run a canyon, I go between (4,3) (3,3) (3,2) depending on how bumpy the road is and if I am on drag radials or street tires.

At one autoX venue - cement - I run (5,4)

At another (pavement) - I run (4,3)

At the dragstrip, I run (5,1) for weight transfer.

Anyways, the LGs seem to be better than the others, as they are inverted, but the lack of adjustability makes other products outshine yours.
