1) Do the heated side mirrors have an anti-glare coating, and if so will Rain-x remove this coating?
2) Does an A/S tire have better wet grip than a summer tire, assuming temperatures above 45F (like the OEM tire, or another ultra high performance tire)?
3) Help me reconcile some seemingly conflicting suspension information. After much digging in the forum I am working with two assumptions. First the stock dampers have too much rebound (I take this to mean too much rebound damping, which is the opposite of too much rebound, a function of the spring. Correct me if I am wrong). Second, aftermarket lowering springs are seemingly all progressive, vs. the linear springs that come stock on the car. This would mean during normal driving, the spring rate would actually be lower until the "tender" section of the spring is fully compressed. If all these assumptions are correct, how are people getting a "better ride" if the already overly rebound damped is now damping a lower than stock spring rate of a nominally loaded progressive spring?
3a) Is there a lowering spring that will give me better ride without sacrificing performance, or is this only in the realm new dampers or coilovers, since the harshness is coming from the stock dampers?
