Stiffer of course, but as the car is underdamped with stock springs it was noticeably worse when lowered with stock shocks and struts. E.g. some porpoising on the highway bump. Added the Koni's and I'm very happy. With the yellows's its back under control. End result is a firmer but well dampened ride. Not harsh at all.

Cool, i just ordered yellow konis, eibach sport springs, with bmr LCAs and pan hard bar(on back-order…). Good to hear. Any suggestion on what hole to use on the relocation bracket for the LCA having a 2" drop in the back with a 1.3" in the front? Thanks.
