Ride quality spring/damper wise, is as nice as Saleen and comparable to Roush, as I understand from buddy who owns one. I was running 350# up front on my coil-overs, but there is no marking on my SLA's now. I presume it is just a touch softer, maybe 300#~325#? I could check it out if anyone is curious. I like it this way as it is quite friendly to drive on less than spectacular road. I have on many sections of HWY 101 North of SF to Fort Bragg (my backyard of twisties
) that has some tough spots and does just fine. The complaint that most would have is transfer of road noise. It is a little un-friendly due to Heim joints at nearly all of the suspension points. My g/f and I don't mind as we just turn up the music
.
My biggest issue is clearance. I am running about 2.5" under exhaust system. This is due in equal parts of Griggs and 30 series tires. As careful as I am I hit stuff all the time. I just accept this as trade-off for spectacular response and wonderful handling on the corners.
As for fatty up front, the SLA allows the extra room for the 10" wheel. I actually could go 10.5" and run 315's up front without an issue, but would have to go with less off-set and the wheel would look like poopoo if I moved it outward. It is already a touch farther out than I would like, but again.... a trade-off.
