Comfort is surprisingly very good. Full set up listed below. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the set up is essentially using OEM shocks and springs. For reference I very much prefer a compliant ride vs a stiff one + softer springs rates with matched valving.
After reading up on the PP Sachs and TRD springs a lot of users reported the ride was stiff and bounced off irregularities on the pavement. I can say for certain this has not been my experience. In fact, while this combo is
marginally stiffer than the OEM 2014 set up it is simultaneously more compliant in its valving paired with the TRD springs. The Sachs and TRD spring combo is a major OEM winner in my book.
For additional reference, it easily passed the wife test. She said it rides better than the original stuff with its 94k miles.
I can comment more on the balance once I hit the track in April as I don't push my cars on the street. But road balance so far as been as flat if not flatter then the original suspension.
