I'm looking to buy an FD and I have heard a lot about its spine breaking suspension. Is this true or an over statement?

Ok well I'm looking for performance, does the R1 actually... hurt? and how much of a performance boost does it get?

I wouldn't trade my R1 for a touring/R2/Base ANYDAY. I love how it feels.

yeah it's a stiff ride. But it's not going to HURT you. Just don't expect luxury. You'll feel all the ruts and road imperfections that's for sure.

its not that stiff....

once you get aftermarket coilovers, and set it on full, it will seem like a comfortable ride https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
