I just got back from the salvage yard where a 740 with 4 perfect Hydras came in. I have the 15" Dracos on my 745t and would like to know if the 16" will ride harsh. This car rides like a caddy compared to my 855t with 16"s. Apples and oranges I know, but the 855t is a buckboard anyway. The only suspension upgrades on my 745t are a set of IPD swaybars.

I'm looking to go to 15"s on the 855t to soften it up for my wife but like the look of the Hydras on a 740.

Will the ride quality suffer greatly with the stock suspension?

Thanks,
