The "Performance Upgrade" with lowered suspension and 20" wheels was *way* better. And still surprisingly comfortable.
It's lowered 1cm, and from what I have read the shocks and springs are the same. So my conclusion is that it was lower profile tires and sticky rubber. But if it turns out the suspension is entirely different and that was the key, then I'm screwed. I'll need to do suspension mods.
Part of me wants to get the performance upgrade just in case there are suspension differences. But a) it's $5k, and b) it comes with bigger brakes that prohibit using 18" wheels. That seems undesirable as well.
