My question is I have the s and it has the adjustable dampening depending on driving mode you are in and I want to loose some of that wheel gap. Would you loose the stock suspension and go with coilover a or just change the springs out so the dampening availability is still functional from the dial inside the car? Any info and opinions welcome.

I don't believe our models came with adjustable dampers for any model. The dial is only for engine management.

That's how I understand it as well. The dial changes throttle response, shift points, etc.

When I am in sport mode the suspension is stiffer in feel compared to the normal mode. I may be wrong tho

Ok I was mistaken it just has double piston. With that being said would you do full coilover or springs keep in mind my wife drives it a lot

I had the same question... And strangely, it feels stiffer to me in Sport mode, too. So I guess it's just a placebo effect? Haha

Unfortunately, this isn't an Aston. Definitely placebo.

Full adjustable coilovers. They let you adjust the dampening and ride height to exactly where you want it. With just new coils you are stuck.

Does the speed sensitive steering change in Sport mode? Maybe that's what the guys are feeling? Anyone know?

I would go with BC coil overs, they are great. I had springs for about a year and a half and even though the gap was less noticeable, it was still there on my stock 20's, in came coil overs and she's sitting right now. Some more people will chime in and give good input as always.

I also recommend the BC's, specifically with the Swift Spring upgrade. I have had mine on for a while now and am very happy.

I can recommend Scale Suspension with Swift springs. Rides like stock and I'm tucking tire. I belive they are $40 more. The Swift Springs raise the price on both coilovers about $350.
