It might be but I have BC Coilovers and the ride is hard but I'm used to the stiffness of the suspension and is a good trade off when it comes to handeling. Have a ride in it and see for yourself.

Just remember a RB5 and a classic might look like the same cars but at market value they ask two very different prices.
