Suspension JCW suspension and 18" runflats
I've got the stock SS+ suspension and 18" runflats. I'm not suffering any health issues due to it, but it is a firm ride... I'm more worried about my shock towers mushrooming than anything.
Personally, I consider my MCS a sports car, and don't mind the somewhat harsh ride -- I really love the way it stays pretty flat when doing hard cornering. I was originally planning to stick with runflats, as I like the peace of mind they offer, and don't mind paying more for new tires assuming the replacement interval was reasonable.... unfortunately, my Dunlop 18" runflats are almost gone in the front (with 4000 miles on them), and I can't justify dropping $600 on new tires every 6 months. It'd be nice if there were other runflat options in this size, but I guess I'll end up with some BFGoodrich KDW2's or something similar in the future....
I should add that I"m getting some Koni FSDs installed with JCW springs later today -- my original plan was to use this to make the ride more compliant, and help avoid 'shrooming on the towers...

Sorry for the thread hijack, but your car looks really cool - definitely unique but tasteful. What rims are on there?
Huh, that's wierd. The JCW suspension definitely stiffened up the ride on my car, which is what I expected.
