I know that regular tires really smooth out the ride.
(earlier I typed 4 door when I meant convertible) Oops!
Yes, but the car rides like an Accord in stock form with non-runflats, so there's plenty of room for some additional roadfeel.

The 135 inner bushings are both soft rubber. The M3 arm went to a metal ball joint on one, and a stiff rubber bushing on the other. So you will get a lot less defection (camber loss) with the M3 parts. Camber plates are good also though.
