Where's the big benefit of coilovers?

softer. but, the setting at the rear also affects the fronts. takes many settings to get it right.
mine is at the softest point in the fronts and 3.5 sweaps in the rear, which I may want to soften that a little.

Is that compression or rebound adjustment?
either way, the porpoiseing is really annoying. If it was my car, and I paid that much money for those things, I'd think the valving was up to keeping the body in check at all times. To me, the rear feels fine, but the valving on the fronts is way too soft, both rebound and compression. The rebound is WAY too soft in front.

rebound. you'd have to get the Motorsports to have the compression adjustment.
well, there is Touring and Sport valving for the fronts. I have Sport. makes a big difference.
and, from what I understand, if you have the rear rebound set too firm, it allows the fronts to bounce.
Stasis told me a half turn up front and 4 sweeps in the rear is the starting place. then adjust to your liking. I've had mine all over the place and this is my best settings. ride height made a difference too. too low and it just bounces the front.

Rob's car is not too low, I think it's 25.5 all round...
personally, on smooth roads, it's more noticeable than on bumpy roads. The handling more than outweighs the bounciness, it's not twitchy or floaty in turns, so it must be a front/rear situation. The problem is, getting it to go away has proven to be difficult.
