Hahaha your kidding right, you can accurately form an opinion off that? You can’t compare, how the basics will handle from your experience. You experienced them in a heavier car. Heavier cars require stiffer suspensions.
With the unadjustable damper, naturally the experience will be different to a lighter car. You can’t compare the two.

Unless you’ve experienced the basics in a DC5, you are not in any position to form an opinion.

It’s not about invincibility; It’s about running matching springs and shocks, from the manufacturer.

Buying springs and shock kits is fine, if you’re going to run them together. Ideally we’d like to pick up a kit, which would give us the drop we’d want and the ride quality we craved.

Realistically it’s never going to happen (In the case of DC5, and humans). Problems start to arise when people start mixing and matching springs and shocks, in order to achieve that perfect balance.

That’s when you start, seeing aftermarket shocks, blowing in some cases.

Don't get me wrong, a spring and a shock setup can be a killer combination, if you know what your doing, sadly not many of us do.
