Yesterday, I sat in a friend's car similar to mine with 19" 403 wheels. Lordy me, they looked so good. There was a difference in the ride comfort between mine with 18" wheels and his. I preferred the ride comfort with 18" wheels.

Now, if you fiddle around with the springs and dampers, it seems obvious to me that this will have more of a negative effect on the ride comfort than when just a small change in wheel diameter can have a slight but noticeable effect.

Some may prefer the 'planted' feel of the 19" wheels, but I feel that in 'comfort' with 18" wheels, the ride is as stiff as I can accept on our pocksy roads.

ETTO.
