when you remove performance suspension in favor of comfort. Last week Mary and I were returning from a local car show and she commented on how stiff the Nova suspension felt. I explained the reason was to be able to carve through winding canyon roads at speeds greater than necessary. She asked if I actually drove that way to which I replied not very often.
This conversation got me thinking since most of time the car is used for cruising and touring why am I subjecting myself to the stiff ride? So yesterday the QA1 Pro Coil Over set up was removed and a stock coil spring/shock set up were installed; so now the car rides almost as smooth as our Buick. The handling may have suffered some but overall the ride is much more in tune with the way the car is being used. Not sure I would have thought this way a few years ago but now that I get a senior discount at every restaurant I eat at it seemed like the right thing to do and yes I do find myself taking advantage of the early bird discounts by having dinner in the middle of the afternoon
