Are there any recommendations for the maximum allowable G-force to stay in the "day to day comfort" range?

I've never had anyone tell me riding in my car would be described as comfortable, though it has been described as an "experience".

Maybe I should bolt up some 14"s with some 70% side profiles, but I still think comfort won't be a adjective to describe my driving! I'm a slave to car fashion I guess, bring on the 18"s!
