Howdy,
I've done a fair amount of searching and didn't really find much comparing the two Ford offerings as daily drivers and could use your help.
I realize that what's an acceptable DD suspension for some would be unacceptable for others, so here's a little background.
The car is a totally stock ZX3 with 60K on the odometer and after driving it a bit I've decided to freshen the suspension. The car is primarily my kid's DD but I drive it occaisonally. The other cars I drive are an Audi A4 Avant w the factory sport suspension (pretty mild and totally DD'able) and a '99 911 with H&R Sport springs and stock shocks (too low and too harsh sometimes, awesome mostly though). I'm a big believer in active accident avoidance so I'd like to improve the ability of my kid to change direction promptly. The car will see occaisonal track day use, but not frequently enough to put up with signifcant DD issues (too low for driveway/street transitions, harsh on rough surfaces, etc.).
Sooo....
I'm inclined to do the SVT kit (3000-zx3), but I prefer the best performing suspension I can get. So is the Multimatic too low and too harsh for DD?
TIA
