With Bilstein tourings in the front and turbo sway bars, my 87 is quite comfortable. The improvement in cornering ability adds a confidence to driving the car that is impressive.
I don't like a boneshaking ride, and our local roads are anything but smooth- with 195/60-15's on Virgos, I think this car offers a ride similar to many smaller new cars I've been in.
I think a stock 240 feels more like a Buick than anything, though they don't bounce and wallow as much. I think you'll like the Tourings as a whole package.
I have to say, though it was one of the most difficult jobs I've attempted at home, and I don't think I'll do it again- certainly not on the car I need to take to work the next morning.
