Suck it up and avoid pot holes and bumps, drive it like you have coilovers.

I always set the dampening in the middle of the adjustment range.

Coilovers as low as they go.
Just learn to drive a lower card, and start avoid particular streets that suck.

I believe he means the rides too rough, not too low so driving like it's lowered doesn't really apply. OP did you order the 6k springs and swap the rears to the front so they are 8k front and 6k rear...I assume not. They note on there site it's recommended for ppl who want a smoother ride. 10k and 8k is a stiff spring rating, fun for track and prolly nothing else. Mabye spend the extra $60 for the 6k springs and have them ship them to you if you want a better DD ride quality.

Well i honestly like a bumpy ride. it reminds me of what i'm riding on (not disappointed at all). Little story. on the way home from work i take the usuall s*** streets to work and the nut holding the bottom of the coilover fell and the whole coilover slipped out. i jacked it up real fast and took off a lug nut, put the lug nut on and fixed it...for the time being at least. the end. lesson learned? dont take the s*** shortcuts and tighten your bolts correctly, i didn't. OK sorry for the mini thread jack.

Hey I talked to my sister, a few nights ago. She told me how your car was riding, soften the dampening and make sure you Don't have alot of compression on the spring, back off the nut under the spring and snug it up and like one of the previous post, buy the softer springs for the rear. you also have to get use to it, your going from stock springs and struts to coilovers. maybe these weekend you can drive my car and ill drive yours, maybe we can see the difference between the Stance and PBM.
