that's clear, your circumstances are known only to you - customisimg is to do what you personally need!) i ride my AR-X for almost 7 years and far more than 200000+ km of mileage , changed many suspension kits - OEM, Nismo - twice, bilstein, impul, BC, oem for tRS - for everyday drive i prefer Nismo's, they are perfect.... cause they are powerful, very high absorption ability is their feature. comfortable, but stiff. even on earthquake roads - you have them in city, we have it at whole country)) but these roads are OK for Stagea)
my childhood dream is to visit your interesting continent, your country, i believe wonderful people live there) let me show you some pics - http://www.drive2.ru/l/4619962/ and http://www.drive2.ru/l/3481/
it is wonderful to have trip, which has 7000 km in one way, without circles or turnings. you also have big distances, so i dream to cross Australia by car)
