Thanks, Greg. Springs feel stock, but front ride height is normal looking. Strut inserts and shocks all around are Bilstein HD, revalved for a slightly softer feel. And the car has IPD bars. Doubt there's much I could (or would want to) do about handling without generating NVH problems. It's fine as it is - just doesn't feel as light and nimble as the fours. Not really criticising, more a comment for others' info.
