I still fail to see how coilovers are too hard for road use as long as you spec the right poundage of spring. Even on their hardest setting my ERST on Leda coilovers is still not as harsh as my factory spec Abarth 500 Essesse is with its revised suspension.
I've got 270LB fronts and 180LB rears and it drives lovely....when it's on the road.
