PERFORMANCE PACKAGE SUSPENSION DILEMMA SOLVED !!!!!

I had thought I had it right but now I'm again re-thinking at the 11th hour(after driving one yesterday) the sport suspension felt way too tight with the PP package it comes with. I'm Not going to be tracking this car and the Non PP suspension felt great to me when I test drove it. But now if I take the 030 package off I loose the LSD along with the rest of the goody's ( which I can take or leave them, its mostly the LSD) and I don't want to go for 3rd party parts

Now I'm at a major cross road, so can someone already driving the sport suspension tell me if they think its way too hard of a drive for Urban city/highway driving... Your comments will be greatly appreciated

UPDATE: AFTER FURTHER TEST DRIVING "THIS ANIMAL OF A CAR" THE FINAL ANALYSIS IS POSITIVE. THE SUSPENSION FITS JUST PERFECT FOR THE SPORTINESS OF THIS CAR...

Did you actually try out a Non PP suspension? if so, what did you think of it?

Hey Thanks... This morning I went back to the dealership and test drove it again. This time I was totally focused on what I was driving on roadway condition... As this point after driving the car another 15 minutes I deem it acceptable for urban driving including some spirited driving woohoo... The Car Is An Animal....lol

So for the ones that are still debating the Full PP package, I'd say go for it!!!

Its has over 100 by now....lol

I raced around the Bayridge area Belt Pkwy to 65th and back up 4th aveune, car Is really sick. After all the driving I did , the suspension was fine. All I can say is, its as close you can get to true sports car. I whipped it around the VZ exit No body roll at all, had to be going 50 mile hr dwn shifting... The guy whom which brought the car to me was laughing, I was also laughing saying this should have been LE's car : > )))) alot of cool people at Catena.

I don't want to explain on this forum, but Dan has the deal. I could have taken your car (1500 + tax less w/ 10 mi's on the car) but I'm hell bent on Black seen it, want it, have to have it...
