Update:
Just left the mechanic about an hour and a half ago. I am very happy to say that this upgrade is some of the best money I have ever spent. The 2023 comfort suspension upgrade is more than worth it. For a total of $1,382.98, this is a freakin no brainer. Glad that I took this route the second I had the chance to do so.
Differences:
This small upgrade took the car from (in my opinion) from a less than average comfortable ride, to above average. I'd say my car went from feeling like a 2014 civic over potholes and road imperfections, to feeling like a 2022 3 series bimmer. Every f$#$ing time I would go over a bump.. the rattle, the noise, the uncomfort just pissed me off, this upgrade completely took it away. This is the way an MYP should drive.
Here's what I have noticed in my "whole" hour and a half of driving my car back from the mechanic to work. I also went over every pothole, every manhole cap, every road imperfection and the new 23 comfort suspension handles them exactly how I'd like.
- that thump, metalicy squeaky noise, that you get when you go over a pothole, gone. Replaced by a deeper, more quality sounding noise. I don't know how to explain it but the noise is night and day. I used to have random little squeaks and bs. This car also drives much better than the 2022 standard MY I test drove before I bought my 22 MYP.
- rattle, my car used to rattle if I go over most little small imperfections, it's pretty much gone. You go over a bump, and now the car just takes it and goes about that day. I also have a whole set of tennis racquets, my gym bag, random tools, all sorts of stuff that used to make a lot of noise in the trunk, that settled down a whole lot. Very noticable
- comfort, I'd say the ride is about a 50% improvement, so pretty much night and day.
-performance, I couldn't feel any negatives, the car drives much better. On my way to work there is a highway with all sorts of bumps and imperfections, the on ramp is curved and extremely bumpy. I felt much more comfortable and confident driving on it.
I'll update this thread when I get some more insight. As of right now this is a no brainer, if you have a 22MY and under I'd say this is a requirement lol. The car rides WAY BETTER. I would go as far as to say it's a night and day difference. I don't know who the hell online is saying it's not a big difference or it's not worth it.
PS: About the springs.. I forgot to mention you do not need to purchase springs if upgrading from a 22MYP. The mechanic installed them anyways, but he said they were identical. So that would have brought my total cost down to around $1,100.
