Dampers will make life alot better, think about it, damp adj coilovers are MUCH more comfy than non adj.....and the only difference is the damper adjustment.
i think dampers will have a bigger impact on comfort especially under compression on uneven surfaces, the sring rate cant vary by much as it would just cause the suspension to top/bottom out over bumps. unfortunatley its the more expensive way of going about it!

very true, but unmatched springs and dampers is still not as effective, and bearing in mind you will need struts off etc, for the price of springs on top you may as well do it.
to be honest, sounds like you bought the wrong car.
All said and done I am forgetting about it and just running with the standard dampers. Too much hassle for potentially little gain is the overriding consensus.
Thanks for advice, except for advising me that i bought the wrong car
I really enjoy my 197 but given the roads in my area it can get a wee bit frustrating when I am in a less than good mood. If you lived in Australia you would understand, we are a big country with a small population making road maintenance low priority.
Maybe not the wrong car just the wrong country?
