Ive got motobuild springs on my facelift ZT diesel, its a stiff ride and pretty harsh on bad bumpy roads but on good tarmac it is excellent. Its on standard dampers and 225/40/18 tyres which isnt helping but it corners well. Ride height is ok for daily driving, it goes over most speed bumps but i have to take it steady over them. Personally i like it how it is but i can imagine its not for everone as the car is not as comfy as it was.
