Same here.

Are you sure you have the H&R sports?

what setting are your KYB's on? Also stock tire pressure is 35 in the front and 33 in the rear. That could be another reason why it feels off.

With the AGX on setting 1(softest, on all 4) the ride comfort is just not as nice as I wanted it to be. For running around town it is fine(slightly firmer than stock), but for two hour road trips it can get annoying.

What can I do to make the ride quality better? I have had this setup for 1 week now. Will they get softer? or are they already broken in?

thanks!

Tire pressure is another big factor, but I have a feeling either his springs are not "Sport" or he's really not used to a lowered suspension. I've run AGX/H&R for years and out of all the other suspension's I've experienced (other cars- Koni yellow, red, Tokico) this is the most comfortable ride.

I think I am not used to driving in a lowered car. but I have found that over the past 300 miles with the new suspension, the car has broken in to a softer ride. There are a lot of bumpy roads around where I live, but on setting 1 it seems to be pretty smooth.

I think I need to upgrade my rear sway bar to get better cornering.

Glad it's working out. I've had this same setup and I love the comfort.
