I call bull****! Ride around Houston on overly stiff springs and once you bend your wheels, break your struts, or jack your steering up you will change your mind.

 

Chill the f**k out man. For the second time, it was completely and utterly sarcastic. But I'm assuming from your knowledeable tone of voice that you had to learn this the hard way... Oh well, some people are just kinesthetic learners, I guess.

 

This guy i know is running the skunk 2 coilovers with tokico blues, don't know if it's the "race" version of the coilovers but he said that they're stiff in the city but track/highway the ride perfect. Any coilover will be stiff no matter what, if you want low just get lowering springs and it will lower and help with ride quality without being too harsh of a ride.
