Godspeed Mono SS Coilovers for 2013 Justa

I've seen some mention of these in other posts but they're many years old so I thought I would ask again since it's been quite a while. I don't track day, autox, race of any kind, and 99% of my driving is local city driving to the beach or work. Should I expect to be disappointed in the purchase and have a garbage ride or will these work for all intents and purposes of cutting wheel gap and providing a better handling with the settings dialed in than OEM?

They will definitely ride stiffer than stock, it the handling will be better. Only you can decide if you can live with that. I have Megan Racing Euro 2 coilovers on my Clubman, and they ride great on smoother roads. But when the roads get crusty, they feel pretty rough.

They can feel a little rougher then stock if not dialed all the way out soft on the back, thats what i did with my Ohlins and the other guys have done with there adjustable dampening shocks for megans and godspeed. If you set them tight in the back for autoX or track for daily it will get a bight bouncy.

The wheel gap will be reduced and you will notice the turn in is sharper/handling.

Ok good to know about keeping the rears soft. Thanks for the input. They're going on this coming weekend as well as some new shoes so I'm looking forward to playing around with the new setup.
