sorry but my aerospeeds have not stripped at all so i dunno. and no its not INSANE to say they ride better. im just stating my opinion that with the setup i have it rides considerably better than the skunk2's that were on a friend of mines integra.
he even said how the cheap ass coilovers on his crx rode better than the skunk2's.
some setups may ride different i dont know, but im just stating my opinion.
