As a product I received in the beginning, I'd say that yes this suspension is comfortable and didn't have any complaints.
But this is my 2nd set already and I'm not about to get a 3rd.
First ST Coilovers I had were great, but one sunny san diego day I was driving down the freeway on my way to work and wasn't able to slow down in time for the accident ahead of me. A semi truck had its load full of thick wooden construction material spread out and I ran over a couple pieces at around 40-50mph and ever since I felt a major degradtaion in the ride. I could literally feel everything that I couldn't feel before and it went down pretty bad. (Not mechanically sound so I apologize if I'm incorrect) I was thinking the dampers were destroyed possibly? I don't know but the ride went to shit lol.
So on to my 2nd set of ST's which are the replacements for ^. No accidents or damages this time and it was working fine and comfortable as expected. Then about 1.5-2 months ago the ride quality went downhill. City driving is decent, not expecting much especially with road imperfections. But for freeway use, the rear of my car is literally bouncing. Again before it was just fine, but now on freeway speeds(around 70-75) the car is literally bouncing and not as solid and stable as it was before. I can't cruise at all with the car being unstable.
I do not track nor drift nor any crazy stuff.
I daily drive the car with some spirited driving once every blue moon.
I have never even attempted to drift, burnout, etc.
So in short, yes the STs are comfortable but I've just had bad experience with them and am looking for something else. I don't slam the car either, I'm still able to put 2 fingers or so in the wheel gap.
