We will just have to agree to disagree. I didn't find the ride quality stock to be very harsh. Of all the stock setups the M2C was hands down the stiffest stock suspension of recent memory and when we went a bit stiffer (albeit with linear instead of progressive springs like stock) I think most agree the ride quality got better as a result.

I am interested in closing the wheel gap a little but the other options out there soften things up too much and negatively impact handling. In theory, these springs will improve handling but it may not be worth the potential sacrifice of ride quality.

Sold a fair amount of sets the first week so hopefully someone from the forums is one of them and will report back first hand.

Want a set up that will eat up those bumps better and ride a bit more composed for everyday use. Not really bothered by the otherwise "stiffness" folks claim they don't enjoy on this M model
This synopsis is pretty much spot on to the feeling here in the building.
