In fact, most folks who drive in a sporty way find them a bit soft. I've _heard_ that the turbo's get a stiffer set of springs but I have yet to see it documented by the factory. I'd suggest that you install a set of Koni's. I found that they made a tremendous difference in both ride and handling vs. the stock shocks. They are adjustable, so you can set them loose if you prefer. They are not cheap - about $550 USD before installation (another $200 or so if you pay someone to do it). Bob
