Would like to see the list as well.

OEM Struts plus RCE Yellows = 65% critically damped on a shock dyno... 250lbs/in and 22mm drop front and rear is plenty for me with my DD that sees the track frequently. The complete lack of body roll and oversteery goodness with the RCE sways and some decent negative camber front and rear just finish off the "OEM+" setup I've been tracking with for many months now.

Good guy @Moto-P 's words should be etched in stone and carried to the top of Mount Olympus,

I can elaborate on definition of soft as "compliant, well damped, and allowing enough stroke at low loads" OF course that can be had in different combinations of factors but generally, the suspension on this car needs to MOVE.

Stock Tires + Stock Tires = pretty darn good.

Low+ Stiff+ Stock tire = bad, hard to rotate, easy to understeer (plow)

Soft + mid-height -20~30mm (or plenty of stroke built into coilver) + medium grip street tire = FUN, Fairly quick, easy to handle, and close to original setup.

Low+Stiff+Race tires = proper race car setup, but requires a lot of driving skills to make it go fast.
