That's half my point

- very few of us can say we've compared many things in isolation.

Also, things like geometry and tyres make huge differences to how a car feels, irrespective of other components, so comparing two cars with different setups isn't necessarily unless they're running the same geo and tyres.

Comparing coilovers is also tricky as they can have different rate springs fitted and

/ or have the shocks set to different stiffness.

I have all kinds of suspension mods on my car and tell tell you what each one does in theory, but in practice, they were all fitted together and then the geometry was done, so I couldn't remotely tell you what each one felt like individually.

The other half to my point was that what one person likes, another one doesn't.

For anyone who follows F1, think of the differences in car setup between Button and Hamilton at McLaren last year.

Some people like cars that understeer, some prefer oversteer.

some are happy to compromise comfort for the best handling over a smooth road while other would rather have softer suspension which might give better handling on bumpier road, but lose out on a really nicely surfaced one.

There is no

"one size fits all" solution, hence the question of what's

"best" is meaningless, IMHO, without further qualification of driving style, required comfort level and the nature of the roads being driven.
