Even stock, the GE8 does feel pretty stiff. The chassis overall is pretty stiff. It's a good thing and a bad thing. You can feel every bump on the road, which is bad. But a stiff chassis is good while cornering.

A cheap option, try nitrogen in your tires it makes everything feel a little bit softer. 35psi all around.
Ill give that a try. I might also go with softer tire or a bit more sidewall. If i get more track time this year ill take it out on the stock wheels and see how it feels.

It is good and bad. Car feel great but when I hit the smallest hole or ridge in the street i want to get out and see if i cracked a wheel. And im coming from a stock stiff car. 03' evo 8. Had that on coilovers for 3 years. That was stiff as hell. But never to the point where i thought something broke from chicago crappy streets.
I've been meaning to ask you a couple of questions. Can you rears go any lower? What's the spring rate on those D2's. ...and are those 15 inchers (wheels)?
thanks bro. sweet car btw.

for those with s-coils, where did you purchase them from and how much? i've only been able to find them on ajr.
i would like to find this out also cuz shipping from there is killing me ($120)...but then again im in hawaii, so shipping is normally expensive anyways.

My rears all maxed all the way down. I'm going to find a way to go lower in the Spring(it's almost snow season here in Indiana). Not completely sure on the spring rates, I have my bumps all the way stiff and it's stiff. Yes, 15's.

shipping from optauto for df210s is like $60 or so.. but that's cause they're willing to ship usps.
i wish i could drop mine like that but our roads here (philippines) suck big time.
So does your traffic...sucks. haha. went there back in February w/ my parents. I would hate to drive there. Gotta be hella aggressive especially w/ the amount of times you gotta toot ur horn. haha.

yea youve got to be aggresive against our f1/rally style jeepney even bus drvivers! and yup a loud horn is a must.
Is it hard driving in the Philippines with a lowered car? I have yet to drive in the Philippines. I haven't been back there since I was 4...
Let's see more dropped GE8s!
yes roads are so effin rough,deep potholes, high humps inside subdivisions my side skirt is about 4in from the ground yet i still i scrape something down.
