I use the car mostly on fairly smooth roads here in the Los Angeles area; some freeway use and lots of canyon runs. The X73 suspension is stiffer than stock US TT. On a smooth road it's no different. On a road with expansion joints it does ride somewhat harsher but when I driving the TT my brain is in a different mode than when I'm driving my basic transportation (Prius) and thus it's not a problem for me. As for spirited driving on curvy roads, I'd say it's much better, front end feels more planted and improved steering response. Height reduction is just right too. I'd heard about the PSS9's and similar setups but I wanted the factory setup, just my preference.

Go with PSS9 setup. You determine how low and how hard or soft. Mine is set about 10mm below euro ride height and 4 front 3 rear. Very crisp and compliant. I might try 3,2 later. Always put the rear 1 setting stiffer than front and it will help rmove some of the understeer. Don't go too low with any of these as you will be replacing your front lip regularly. About an inch under US ride spec should be great for all occaions.
