Default 05' Suspension Update

For those who have 2005's I would be curious to know what they think of it and the different suspension setup.

I assume that they have softened up the ride in the car.

Thanks

well, logically they would need to drive a pre 05 as well to know the difference?

and what exactly is the difference again?

As I understand it, new shocks are the only difference.

Springs & shocks have new part-numbers for '05 MY

Swaybar's & suspension components do not.

Shocks is all you need for a better ride. I'm sure shocks would improve the ride ten times bettter than non-runflat tires, and that's the reason I'm also waiting on input on the '05 setup rather than give up the piece of mind of runflats.
If I don't hear some useful remarks here, I might start looking for aftermarket adjustable shocks, which can't be that expensive (cheaper than new tires, for sure). Haven't scrutinize the car about this issue, but a shock change shouldn't be too hard to perform.

Keep the comments coming, and have a great weekend.

Go for the Tein CS w/EDFC and Daizen Swaybars.

Huge difference. =)
