drivin around town is a huge different from a straight 5 1/2 hour drive. I am coming down columbus day week-end though . May bring my 240, but if a third friend comes takin my friend's minivan. 240 has shitty space in the back, no way my friends can fit in it (they are both around 6'5)

not really. i drove 6 hrs to atlanta and back in my car and in a racing seat. at least the d2's are dampening adjustable. mine aren't. driving around town is actually worse than highway cuz there are more bumps in the road

my d2s seem to bounce more when i'm goin over 70, every lil unsmooth part of the road you can feel it. big uncomfy bumps are definetly more common in the city with potholes, but highway it's just once bouncy ride

if your car's bouncy, then you need to soften the suspension. something which you can do, since d2's are dampening adjustable.

yea I know, i'm tinkerin with it right now tryin to find the optimal setting. I hate adjusting the rear ones, I have a rear strut tower bar right in the way. Too lazy to unscrew it and take it out and stuff
