Your definition of "Best ride"? Different people have different meanings, such as - the capability of firm/sporty, soft as stock SE but minimal body lean, dislocate kidney's but able to take corners at 90 mph with no lean. What is yours?

Not trying to be obnoxious, just want to set the boundaries.

*cough* cattman coilovers *cough*

i've had them on my car for roughly 8 months now and i have not turned back since. i LOVE them, period. for beign able to handle the NYC streets, i have pretty much used to them to their full extent, and i'mt not even on a complete drop yet. i'm roughly 30% dropped front and 50% dropped rear and the ride is very comforting. obviously, it's a little rough now, but that's due to my 19's and rubber band tires. but before when i was on stocks, i didn't feel a thing. if you're looking for the dropped look with the stock feel, these are a very good option.

i'm waiting for the people that haven't even driven in cattman's to chime and say that jic's are still better

let me add, i'm taking a wild guess that more then 75% of jic owners adjust the spring rate and then never touch it again....so why buy it adjustble? the cattman's were designed with comfort in mind and the daily drivers feel. they met those requirements.

I'm not that wild about the JIC ride. Somedays its good and somedays its weird and VERY stiff...

I adjust mine all the time tho.
