Hello, first post! Just starting my search for a preowned ST, will be a few months still.
Have a few questions for everyone. First, just how stiff is the stock suspension? My current daily driver is a 10 Mazda3 with stock springs and Koni oranges, and my PT is on Bilstein coilovers. Mazda are on the stiff side, curious to know if ST is stiffer?
Also what about highway tire noise? Not sure what summer performance tires come stock or if they are loud. Again anyone able to compare to a Mazda 3?
Other than these 2 minor concerns, I like everything else I have read, but have not driven one yet. Want an "orange" one with Recaros and sunroof. Mods will be minimal, stage 1 at most.
Thanks
Cary
