You really won't believe the difference it can make. I've been finding excuses to drive my car over the past week. The gear shift is the difference that has amazed me most. The shifts are just so precise and feel great, even though there is still slop in the gear lever in 1st and 5th but to get rid of that would probably require a new gearbox.

It just feels like a go-kart now. But all this is just a feeling. I'm sure its not any faster but it just feels that way.

A word of warning though: if you really want the stock comfy feel, don't go stage 1, probably don't change them of go stage 0.5. I don't find the vibrations that bad at all, but that's just me.

The only really noticeable vibrations come from taking of in 1st, just around the 800-1000rpm mark. Other than that, vibrations are a little grater than stock.

Oh, and remember that the VR6 engine is a lard-a$$ compared to the 2.0.

Man you are getting me excited !!! I don't think a little more discomfort will bother me, the stiffness of my coilovers would most probably over ride the discomfort of the vibrations anyways..

my mounts are knocking so badly atm !
