It's all good now. I'm confusing stiffness with bouncy. Guess the roads in Orlando are not as good as I taught. Got it dialed to where i like it. Just gotta get used to the ride being stiff. Got a friend that has a e39 m5 with jic cross and he loved the ride. He told me that my ride was actually better and that the the ride being a little stiff is gonna be the norm. Gonna give it a couple of weeks and will come back with more feedback. Will post pics tomorrow, really loving the slam look.

it seems to me that the JICs are more sensitive to shock adjustment than the KWs are.

0 setting on KW was pretty soft, 1 setting on JIC is pretty firm

that's exactly what the installer said. It didn't really make a huge difference going from softest to firmest setting.He left it a 5 for now.
