Guess I should elaborate.

In short, if you're looking @ YYZ springs and believe that ride is what you're looking for, some handling, but OE ride characteristics I do believe you'll find coilovers to be stiff.

Wasn't a shot at the XA's, just noting there is a difference between a nice firm coilover ride and a progressive spring ride. Not a bad thing at all, if you can accept the quick rebound, solid mounts, etc., the Pedder's are awesome . I just went back to stock FE5 setup and the slalom doesn't compare, feels like my steering is dead!

Personally I've gone back and forth, coilovers are awesome but I always end back up on a set of springs at some point and enjoy the handling and comfortable side a bit more there.

Well, I'm hoping that the KW, V2's will be the best of both worlds we will see when they get here.
