Yep - Tein Flex all round - but I kinda have them turned up all the way to "kidney-jarring" atm :-)

However, they are fully adjustable (height, preload, and dampner) so they're fine. When I first chucked them on they were firm and still perfectly acceptable for road/street driving...and even now, with the preload cranked right up and the dampning stiffened right up, they're not THAT bad...

Oh ok. See I only got the standard suspension, non-tems, woudln't mind something that handles better, last year's motokhana I had to slam on the brakes to shift the weight forward for me to make a turn, otherwsie she just slides straight.

But yeah, I was wondering if you don't mind me having a look, well, having a sit in your car one day and see what it is like comfort wise? I'd say it would be a big improvement handling wise, but don't to be too uncomfortable. DO you get uncormfortable on long drives or is it something that can be put up with easily?? (Long drive as in over an hour long or so)

Teins also, Can be tiresome after a long trip but handling- refer AHG drving day results

I have been driving with them for over 4 years and would not go back. The car goes where you want when you want which is handy if some tard in a van decides " oops this isn't my turn off" and swerves back in front of at about half your speed and about 4m infront .
