Default Harsh Ride

I have a S2 that i use on a daily basis but the ride is very hard. It has koni adjustables which are set to soft with 25mm chassis dynamic lowering springs. Was thinking if there was a way to get uprated springs but with standard ride height

Exactly what I've been looking for. I believe Rally design do springs in various rates and lengths. I've been trying to find a more local solution.

At the moment i feel like im in a bouncing castle have tried various sets of springs and they all go harsh after around 2000 miles. The only way out is standard springs and i dont care how jacked up it looks just need a good ride not saying it has to be like a lexus ride but anything can be better than it is now.

so are you saying its hard or soft then?

first you said its very hard, and now you say like a bouncy castle (soft).

not sure which you mean mate, but yea std springs are your best bet from what youve said.

(i have some you can have)
