Well I picked up my car tonight and got to see how the RoW suspension kit felt and I can tell you that it is stiffer than the stock struts and springs. Over all the car felt really smooth. The new clutch kit felt great and the whole vehicle felt dead straight. I had the top up and it was a bit cooler so with the top it is a noisier ride. But overall I am very happy and no longer worried about IMS. I did seem to notice that 2200rpm slight vibration but nothing dramatic its just there if I look for it. I am going to do a ride of a few hundred miles tomorrow and Friday to get the real feel of it.

Congrats!I've always thought that the M030 kit should have been the base suspension. Its a great balance of performance and ride comfort. Let us know how you like it after a couple of weeks.
