Making ST 180 More Comfortable?

[Tonda-B]

They basically had to put 17’s on it to sell it but I don’t think that was the right size wheel for this car.

It is also my opinion.
The gyroscopic effect of the cast 17" heavy rims is unpleasant too:
- when you turn, nothing happens - everything what can moves first in bushes
- then the wheel jumps in the desired direction
Yanky cornering is guaranteed.

16" rims to have - seems to be good idea...
The only problem is to find good tire at 195/45 R16..

Thanks for the info, can you write down the name of your shocks? I would like to check them out.
Also can you please describe if more/less compression or more/less rebound makes the car more comfortable?

Protlum - custom made.
More compression will not make the car more uncomfortable.
Just extremely big changes in the more direction.
You will feel better response at cornering (but you will loose grip on gravel or minor bumps)
Rebound changes make main comfort changes.
