QA1 questions
Figured this is a much better spot for some QA1 questions. I have the selective ride and it's about time for some new shocks and having adjustability really would be sweet for what I'm looking for I think. Here are my questions....
1.) Thinking the C model would be best since I'm not hardcore into racing, where is the best vendor to purchase them from?
2.) Will the adjustablility change the ride height of the car also or will that still be strictly set with my front and rear bolts?
3.) Properly adjusted, how will these ride on the road with a slammed stance?
4.) How difficult is it to change the settings at the strip for some passes and then change back to street settings for the ride home?
Thanks!

they dont control ride height it is more of compression and nose dive when you brake..on the lower settings (if your slammed) you will rub the air damn, on the highest setting there is no rubbing when braking hard.

comfortable is a matter of personal preference...i was in a c6 with base suspension and thought i was going to throw up....it bounced over the road like a buick roadmaster, my comfort is to feel every bit of road feedback....you know when you hit a expansion joint, a stick, rock etc...some would think my car is a bit harsh in ride but its perfect for what i was after, a true no holds bar road car.

thanks! What I'm after I suppose is to get rid of the "hoppy" ride I have. The car bounces which I am very sure is due to the limited shock travel my stockers have that are bottoming out easily.
