It feels almost the same, I have it set on the hardest too. The So.Cal roads are very smooth thats why.

Lucky.. I wish the roads out here were like that... If I push my GS over 40mph on any given street I run the risk of having atleast one of my rims getting bented...

Yes you can adjust all for corners. On the height adjustment you do not need to do anything, but jack the car up and twist. As for the dampers the front ones can be adjusted by popping the hood and for the rear ones you will just need to lift the deck cover.

Well there is a bad side to Brian. They want the roads so nice that there is construction almost every couple of months or once potholes form they cover it up the next the day. So the construction always causes traffic and they never sweep up the rocks afterwards.

Hey man...at least they cover up the potholes. There's so many potholes/uneven pavement/cracks in LA streets that they don't even bother to do anything about them....and when they DO cover potholes...it's usually a horrible job. It's kinda hard to drive straight on the road when you have to swerve back and forth to dodge potholes and those horrible LA drivers. Oh well...I guess the brighter side is that I've become a better driver from it.

Eric - I read it's very important to make sure your alignment is done after you make a drastic change on the dampening.

Going from 1 to 5 or whatever, I've heard that as easy as coilovers are to adjust you need to get an alignment after every change.

Well I left the rears at the normal dampness. The they were all set at 3, so the front is just turned two levels up. If i notice any uneven wear, I will get a alignment. But when I drive on the freeway and let go of the streering wheel everything is still striaght.

Plus the way I am taking corners now, my tires are not going to last very long.
