Driving Impressions:
I drove it the first couple days with the shocks on 2. I was surprised at how forgiving the ride was. I was expecting it to be much harsher.
The last 2 days I have had them set at 5.
It is much stiffer on 5, but still not as harsh as I would have thought. I think since the chassis is so stiff, the car behaves better.
I've driven some cars wiht performance suspensions which just jarred me to death and were no fun to drive on the street. Even set at 5, this car is comfortable to drive.
With that said, I plan to dial them back down for everyday driving.
I have about 250 miles on it so far. Mileage according the the computer is 17.8mpg. There has been some spirited driving in there that has hurt the mileage...

Watching everyone get their car is great! But the wait is killing me I spent over 2 hours on Thursday at the car show sitting in and checking out the one on display.

Polaris, you must be in the same part of the state as me. I'm going tomorrow to the show, probably just make me more impatient though. Mine's a 3rd QTR build.

Yep FTW show, they have a red/white on display. If you bring your Dora the display manager will open the car up so you can check it out. My big deal was to check out the seats and drool on the motor.

Kaaden your car looks awesome. Is it true Kona Blue is the fastest?
Turd, thanks for your impressions. So is the move from 2 to 5 immediately noticeable or did you have to drive it a bit to notice the difference?

Any chance you'll get it on a track for comparison first? I know I'm going to want to lower mine, but I want to get it right the first time this time. I went from the FRPP kit to a Griggs suspension with Koni coilovers on the GT500. I don't want to do anything twice this time.
