My RS was loud and really stiff and I loved it, but my wife always complained. Now the MR on the other hand has no complaints from my wife, she love the way it feels, and I love the way it still handles. With the MR got the best of both worlds, extreme handling with a smooth ride.

I had my integra on tokico adj. w/ dropzone coilovers and felt just like my RS, but with no body roll. Do not know how the stock suspension felt because was shot when I bought the car.

When I test drove an Evo a few months ago I thought shi* this car rides rough. Sometimes I think there are no springs in the car.... haha. I love it though. Makes the other cars I drive feel like smush.

Evo: I hate driving my business parnter's Saab95 or my dad's Cayenne or any car like that. They're pretty nice, but there's not feedback at all - you're insulated from the outside. I'd say your average person prefers that. For me though, the Evo's ride is perfect because you have instant feedback on the road. Then when you make your decision the tightness of the Evo immediately translates that back to the road. I wouldn't have it any other way! Also, my wife likes riding in it on our long weekend road trips, so for me, that's the true test

I voted Decent because i'm used to having a car with JICs so now the Evo will have JICs before i love it.

Evo-decent ride. Basically 10 times less harsh and noisy than my last daily driver, the 89 Impulse. The RS does not have sound deadening, but at least it has a back seat and carpet to cancel out some noise!

I had a friend drive it and he said it felt like a go-kart: Really quick around turns and very bumpy on the straights. Sounded like a perfect description to me. I love the ride...
