Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

i inspected the shocks before/after bringing it back down and there didn't seem to be any fluids leaking.
Leading evidence: 'Inspect shocks' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Inspect shocks' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It might just be in my head, but the suspension on my car is not as hard or as "sharp" as it was. Then again after driving a 97 civic with everything broken on it all winter, my sense of suspension could be off.
It might also be because my car went on a diet over the winter: Spare tire and tool kit (thats gotta be like 40 pounds), bypass pipes 55 lbs, gt3 seats 30lbs i think, if not more, and some other little ods and sods to equate to roughly 15-170lbs lost. could this be the reason the suspension doesn't feel as sharp? because the factory M030 is set up for a certain weight and needs harder springs and different damnping to compensate for the lost weight?
or should i just take the little pills that my doctor keep giving me.
other pertinant info: car just rolled passed 35000 kms. its is stored on blocks during the winter with the rims still on so that might have pulled down on the suspension and fudged with stuff (although i don't know why i didn't notice it last season).
stored on blocks???? Do you mean the wheels off the ground and shocks at full droop? If so that is a huge mistake and the shocks leak if fully extended for even a moderate amount of time
I was told explicitly not to store the car on blocks for exactly that same reason. I think your "floatiness" could definitely have something to do with that. I just store mine with tires overinflated to prevent flat spots and with the battery maintainer plugged in.
werid...i was always under the impression that leaving a car on blocks or jackstands was a fairly common practice. i inspected the shocks before/after bringing it back down and there didn't seem to be any fluids leaking.
sheize....time to move ahead with the upgrade i guess.
is there any danger driving the car as is for the time being (another couple of weeks till the shocks come and are installed/aligned?)
Dead eye: I had PSS9s on my 2002 C2 and they were great! If you are going to track the car it is a good way to go. Adjustable height,corner balance adjustable ride. X74 no corner, no adjustment. Great for street but not for track
^ yeah that was the conclusion i came to. my car is driven hard and i like 2 tweek settings to get them just right. PSS9's will give me that opportunity and keep the "****-up-ability" to an acceptable level as opposed to say Moton's.
