Yeah, check the tire pressure! My tires were 50 lbs all around too, when I bought the car. Made a big difference when I set the pressure correctly.

Should'a went with whiteline/MRTs They rode really nice.

Anyway.. The MR suspension was one of the major reasons for buying the car over a GSR. It's more noticeable at low speeds. But it's still no cadillac and is bumpy on really bad roads.

other companies will make a kit that a ride of a car more torable to ride?
I would have to say dont buy a performacne car if u want it to ride like a cadilac, or if u wife wants for ride on a cloud. I will also add that My muellerized JICs do ride better then the stock dampers.
