I really enjoy H-sport sways with my sport suspension and 18" tires/wheels. I run my tires at 36 psi instead of recommended 41 psi to soften ride slightly (while being careful to not dent rims).
I'm curious if there are anymore worthwhile suspension improvements that won't produce bone jarring ride during normal driving conditions.
I have heard about coil overs and other similar suspension mods. Are these worthwhile for other than autocross/track events?

I think they look like a neat product. Although my car is completely stock at the moment. I'm weighing all my options for the future and I think the FSD's are in the future. Anyone have personal experience with them?

while the handling definitely improved in sharp cornering and at higher speeds the car sticks to the road better.

...I just got done taking a set of FSDs off my S6, the ride was vastly improved but they didn't have quite enough low-velocity damping to keep them under control, the car had a slight 'float'.
Of course, I just got back from a week in Hawaii driving a rental Chevy Uplander and that thing had the worst shock tuning of anything I'd driven in the past twenty years, not to mention some of the worst (Goodyear Integrity) tires, it was a positively nautical experience.

A non-stock spring, e.g. lower, does not allow the FSD to work properly. Therefore, if you want lower springs, go with the standard Koni Sports

...not so sure about the shaft-position thing, and Koni does sell the same FSD setup for both standard and sport C5s. That said, they weren't quite enough damping, particularly low-velocity rebound damping, for the springs in my S6.
I might be inclined to try something else sometime, having the stock shocks back in the car now reminds me to some extent of why I wanted to take them out, but I'll live with 'em for now.
