MY 2011 GT convertible now has a huge super charger on it and is at around 740 HP at the crank. It is a beast!

I am looking at lowering the car a little, and putting a bit tighter suspension on it. The added torque is making the ride a bit flabby and bouncy at times.

I always wanted to lower it bc I always felt like the car was a little truck like (too high).

The thing is I want my cake and eat it too. I want the great ride qualities that I have now, while getting a lower to the ground more nimble-like feel, and getting rid of some of the bounce.

There are so many options! This one seems hard!

Ideally I'd like to get something with a LOT of possible adjustments to it so I can dial it in, and even change it depending on the circumstance, or what I eventually think after driving it a lot. I hate the idea of doing this MANY times. I'd like to chance the suspension ONCE, not 5 times. LOL

I don't track, but i do get pretty crazy up PCH in the big sur area, and winding mountain roads, etc. It is a DD as well. In CA, so weather is not really a consideration.

The tires are Michelin super sport, 295 in the back.

Note, as of now considering: Koni Yellow/Springs vs. Coilover system, probably the KW variants 2.

Also thinking about things like: Fays 2 watts link, control arms, etc.

In the end I want four things:
1. The car to feel less bloated, more nimble, less bouncy.

2. A real quality ride that I will enjoy in daily commutes bc it is a DD.

3. Traction, because it is a freaking beast. It is VERY easy to get off the ground in this car and to end up sideways. LOL

4. As much adjustability as possible because the car really needs to be two cars: a hot rod I have fun with, but also a very comfortable DD.
