It seems to be quite a common thing for people to find the japanse suspension manufacturers to be too stiff. Having spoken to those people I already assume you've set damping to softest (if adjustable).

It wouldn't be the first time a set of these, or HKS, Cusco... etc have been up for sale pretty new because of the jarring ride.

I think they're set up for japanese roads or tracks which are much smoother than your average uk pot hole storage device.

i had some tein's on a wrx a couple of years go and 18 wheels with 35's on and the ride was rock solid , u couldnt get ya fingers on the cd player to adjust it , over bumps i was lifting out of my seat and banging my head on the roof , dangerous picking ya nose with this set up and was no chance of texting on the phone, the cup holders became redundand , funny thing was though when i sold her with this set up the guy who bought her was going to put a child seat in the back for his son, keen or what , imhpo think they r not suitable for evey day use in our roads!

Read the thread here, particularly the posts on bump and droop. What's your ride height like?
