Ride is good for the road, reasonably supple but still jars a little on potholes and the likes but I'm going to revert to 17s with taller tyres to fix that. I've also got some Prodrive buckets fitted so that reduces the padding too

My 50mm drop is on KYB AGX shocks, they're adjustable but standard length - any lower and they'd dislocate when jacked up but these are as short as you can go on OE shocks. 30mm will be fine though

STIs are lower anyway, but they also come with different shocks...
