[mkiv] suspension upgrade

[Brian_Banks at Dell.com]

Chris, 

I thought you said a while back you had the Tein CS's installed?  Maybe
I'm mistaken.

Ok, so what's the most comfortable springs/shocks upgrade you can get
without breaking the bank?

I have JIC FLT A2s on mine. Expensive, but VERY nice pieces.  Ride is
pretty nice actually.  Car is lowered about 1.25 inches in the rear and
about 1.5 in the front if I remember right (its been a while)...

They are definitely stiffer, but not harsh, when set to mid level
settings on teh shocks (mine are set ot about 4 rear and 6 front I
think).  Only problem is that JICs make some noise since they are pillow
ball mounts...

Regards
Chris T.
