I love my glanza but i have to say it is by far the most uncomforyable car iv ever been in. You feel every little bunp in the road. Its still pn standard suspension so is thereanything i can do to make it a bit more comfortable? Coils?

aha mate if you want comfort, probably chose the wrong car to start with, but i cant see coilys helping, especially not d2's. hard as a rock, i dont know about other makes. but definately not d2s for comfort, handling yes

I dont mind normally its just on long journeys id like a bit of comfort. I think i might just get something cheap and comfortable in the near future as well as the starbo. Couldnt bear to get rid of it.

If you find the stock suspension uncomfortable, I'd really recommend that you do not go for anything like coilovers (or lowering springs for that matter)...

If you want comfort, you should look into some real reclinable sport seats (Lancer Evo seats are a common choice, can be had fairly cheaply, and are very nice to sit in).

hahahaha serious you find standard uncomfortable?????

Coils would make it hundred times worse I personally love it and wouldnt have it any other way.

Dont get coilovers if you think standered susspension is too harsh. Go with some seats like said above.. Mines really comfy to drive as i have a GT and the seats i find are bloody good. Also with the state of the roads round here (dnt knw what they like where your from) i dont see why people go for coilovers unless they doing track.

a good shock and spring setup and nice comfy seats will sort that.. i felt kinds the same with my standard seats but the recaro fishnets are brilliant.. hard to come by tho

After over a decade the stock suspension probably isn't in tiptop condition buddy, I'd advise a fresh replacement shock and spring set to try and improve the ride quality. Remember it's a fairly short wheelbase with an agricultural rear axle setup so the best 'comfort' mod could well be a cushion.. :haha:
