Hi, I just bought a set of megan street coilovers (S14) and put them on and set all the way to soft level32. When I go down the road I still fell some bumps pretty rough. Why is that ???? Or maybe I just thought it would fell like driving in a Lexus. Thanks for your Help

Because theyre coilovers. Nobody ever said they will improve your ride quality.

Deal with it and stop being such a *****.

uhhhh...maybe the coilover springs are like three times stiffer than your OEM springs, plus shocks are shorter??? If your looking for comfort and performance, you should of got some spring/strut combo..

The emphasis on that statement should be on performance.

Damn, dude! Did you even think about what you were buying before you got them? At the end of the day you're on 8kg/mm and 6kg/mm springs. Lexus cars are built for comfort, megan doesn't build suspension for that.

yea, but the last thing anyone wants to hear is that "relatively cheap" really refers to what they've been accustomed to as "baller" in the grand scheme of things, which doesn't bode well for the crap they actually buy.
