Ride with 18"wheels hard - how to soften ride a little?

[MikeB]

GTI: firm yet comliant even with 18" Detroit.

MikeB, I wonder what other cars you had in the past.

Is the GTI Adidas your first car with low profile rubber and proper suspension for a performance car?

...:p

I had a Honda Accord Euro with 45 profile and it was quite soft in comparison. After 2 weeks I am getting quite used to it. I drove my wifes Honda Odyssey and it handled like a large boat (heeled in the corners... delay after turning wheel).

For those who say 'suck it up..' I'm getting there.

That's good!

I also had 2006 Accord Euro with Buddy Club N+ coil, so the GTI is rather comfy at the moment (until a time when the PSS10 gets installed sometimes when the SA-60M arrives).

The 2010 Accord Euro is probably less boaty than Odyssey

I get what your saying as I have driven mine around more now (also adidas) I have owned 4 lowered cars in the past so im almost used to a firm ride, I think the difference with the GTI (on 18s) is that yes it is firm, but its almost like it was designed to 'take it' like somehow the chassis/seat/feel is slightly absorbed moreso than if you were in say a silvia or maz 3 etc.

but yes you its certainly not a 'lexus' ride, but I think it suits the car's character!
