Take it from someone who has pillowballs... it's not that bad at first, and in fact quite fun, but they A) Make a lot of noise, and B) Make bad roads worse. On normal and newer roads, they're quite nice... but once you have to deal with a lot of pot holes, they're annoying.

Also, the EG springs (And I think the shocks too... I'm not sure) arent as intense as the onces used on the DC2...

Yeah you so right. I have a set of JIC coilovers with 12kg/6kg spring rates. I have two sets of wheels and tires that I use. the street tires are 205-45-16s the 45 series tire makes the pillow uppers even more noisy, sometimes it feels like the car doesnt have suspension at all.

Do you have the JIC-FLTA2s? I was looking at those, but I got a killer deal on the Apex'i N1s that I couldn't pass up...
