I don’t doubt that the performance data returned a particularly favorable result. But I’m also curious about the metrics and parameters behind the tests. As I mentioned in my other reply above, I abhor the idea that one should have to sacrifice road feel for “comfort.” That’s what a good suspension is for. Tires are supposed to ground the vehicle completely. It isn’t performance oriented if I’m losing that direct feedback which inhibits performance. Might also be a key reason as to why I’m not sliding everywhere now. I can feel the road again (at least in the rear) which allows for a better modulated throttle response. Which would immediately position the PSS well above the PS4S in performance. Bottom line, if I can’t feel the goddamn road, it’s meant for a Rolls Royce.
