Better Suspension?

This complexity is beneficial though, since now the suspension can be customized to suit different load and driving conditions. Not all coilovers make the ride more comfortable, some may in fact make it harder, but this will be to make the suspension more robust so that it can take heavier loads.

Same issue here, SX/17" choppy ride...

Sold the 17" rims, witched to 16" rims with Yokohama Envigor 195 tires... what a change, ride got almost too soft, very quiet and still in control.
Suspension is still unrefined and disconnected at times but at least it is bearable.
Probably for me keeping the 17" rims would have been a better choice.

Cheers

(water is the enemy of asphalt) Plus they dont get enough maintenance to keep it up. So the "sport suspension" it has its just terrible here. Plus it has the 17" rims less rubber more bumps to feel. What do you recommend to do? I dont know anything about suspension.

I would gladly change the rims to 16" black but i dont know if the chrome handles will fit the style. I hate those chrome handles... Maybe some chrome and black rims.
