Default KYB AGX/H&R Sport - Poor ride comfort

I recently installed KYB AGX and H&R sport on my 01 gsr. I am running 205 50 15 yokohama avs es100. tire pressure is 32front/31 rear

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!

Well it is an autocross setup. The springs are suppose to be stiff, so it can take corners alot better. Coilovers might've been alittle more softer then the racing springs

H&R sports are 276 lbs/inch.

Neuspeed sports are 250, but I doubt that would make much difference.

I run Comptech Springs (330F/210R) with AGXs set to 4, and the ride is not bad at all. I recently went on a 5-hour road trip; while it was a little stiff, it was nothing that really became bothersome.

After a few hundred miles, the springs might soften up a little. You might want to try raising your tire pressure to 35F/33R and see if that helps at all.

i find my H&R Race/KYB AGX's are much more comfortable than my Skunk2/Tokico Blue setup.
