Default R.A. soft

does any one else think the RA suspension in a little soft/spongy ?

i was expecting the suspension to be much firmer than my '08 GTS........

.........but it is not. it may seem even softer.

Yeah, I agree.

Compared to my 2003 Tiburon in feeling bumps in the road, The Ralliart is like a luxury car (although that's an apples to oranges comparison). I kind of miss the lowness to the ground and harshness of the Tiburon.

The car is great, but I do think it could stand to have upgrades in the wheels/tires/brakes/suspension area to pull out it's true potential. Maybe after the 6 - 9 months it should take me to pay this thing off, there will be some nice upgrades available.

It's the same suspension as the GTS. That's nothing some coilovers can't fix though.

If you think that's soft, you should try the WRX. It rolls over like your dog when you come home from work.

hey I've got a 03 Tiburon too! The Tibby is defintely alot stiffer and feels more like a sports car, only suspension-wise though. My tiburon is like a snail compared to the Ralliart.

I really don't mind the suspension in the RA. I bought it for my daily driver, so it's what I wanted.

I'm with voodooutt on this one. I bought it as a daily driver and like the suspension very much. I find it to be a good compromise between sharp handling and bumpy road compliance.
