What type of suspension do you prefer.
Do you like the balls to the wall racing suspension with an unbelievibly high spring rate, big sway bars and any other parts that will stiffen up your ride for optimal turning capability?

or a less aggressive type suspension that although doesnt perform as well as the stiff springs, doesnt give you the bumpy, jaw rattling ride that will knock the filings out of your teeth?

I guess if I had a race car I would like the tight suspension, for any truck/suv I like it firm

I drove my mom's toyota Solara for about a year, and it has some VERY soft suspension. Its nice for just riding around, but when you if you speed up, slow down, or turn the car leans a fair amount. I now have a firebird with suspension thats pretty hard compared to the Solara, and i really prefer it. You can actually feel the road, but not too much. You don't lean in turns, and its more enjoyable. For long raod trips i may want something softer, but i don't see myself taking long road trips in the firebird.
