No the springs are plenty stiff to keep it from being bouncy. It is just about perfect.

you should, as you know it couldnt be easier to adjust them. you can always move them back if you dont like it.

hmmm... indeed...
I have 15 minutes to kill at lunch. I think I will try that. I am currently at 8-clicks from the stiffest both front and back. I am going down to the parking garage now and will report back after lunch.

Would the changes be immediate or do you have to drive the car around for a few miles?

Turned the knob all the way to mush! Not bad/bouncy at all. Like the OP said, the springs are plenty stiff enough to still retain the sporting characteristics. Will have an update tonight after I drive it on dreaded I-5. It took me 2.5 hours to work this morning. Damn the Cal Trans and theie sweepers!!! Why can't you do this in the middle of the night!!!

Well, I had to take a 15 minute restroom break on the way too but yea it was ridiculous. I usually take the train in but I have a dinner meeting tonight. Normallym, it's a 1.25 hour drive (32 miles) during rush hour but it was compounded by the stupid sweepers!!! ugh!

Bathroom breaks are for the weak Jason. Next time bring a bottle.. HAHA jk. I'm sure driving the E60 can't be that bad of a situation.. just the traffic must be killer.
