However, Continental feel has been criticised in certain countries like America where they prefer a plush feel. Bump control is very very good, with good isolation from the cabin. The word for Conti feel is: supple</p><p></p><p>And having said that, there's the 'US feel', which is, well, soft and plush and wallowy!!</p><p></p><p>There's Japanese-feel. Japanese are softer in their damping, but somehow go a bit tighter in the rebound damping. It's a bit more comfortable on motorway cruising, softer on secondary ride (undulations). But again, a bit harder on primary ride (bumps and ruts). Jap feel is also more towards understeer, car is not as tight. In comparison, we like to say Jap feel is "unresolved".</p><p></p><p>As for the Teins giving Conti feel?? I dunno dude, that's all up to your own tuning of the springs and dampers! To me my HAs/Superstreet are simply: stiff! But they don't crash on the road, so still tolerable lah. Compared to other stuff I'd tried like HKS Hiper-D or Cusco!!</p><p></p><p>The best street dampers in the world are still Bilsteins. Followed by Konis. Their damping is absolutely superb! If you ever get a ride in a car with PSS9s fitted, you'll understand the term 'Brilliance'!!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
