It's not too comfortable over bumps
It's definatly tolerable though. Even on a 200+ mile trip, you're not sore when getting out of the car. If anyone saw Jeff Proposki get out of his 88 SPG/Viggen after his trip to SAABs @ Carlilse... he looked SORE. My ride isn't like that at all.
With bigger wheels, smaller tires, and lowered suspension I knew the ride would be harsher. It's predicitably harsher, nothing I didn't expect. It doesn't feel too much "worse" than it did with the stock SPG suspension.
The way I figure it... it's my SPG, and it's based on performance, not a coffee cup holding luxury ride.
I do dodge the bumps, and sometimes worry when hitting a pothole.. but.. I do love my suspension around corners!
I'm going to be getting the SAS front & rear sway bars along with some KYB adjustable shocks which I'll have set to the stiffest settings.
So my final conclusion... it feels like an SPG with 16" wheels, 205/45/16 tires, Intrax springs, driving on PA's crappy roads ( :
