And again, the ride quality factor was huge for me and these springs have been really good to me!

I think Mr Stacy got a bad install OR it's the combination of the other suspension components that is causing some ride quality issues. Those components are meant to allow the car to handle on rails. You will feel more of the road.
Any ideas on what else could be the issue? The kit had springs, sway bars, the brace and some hardware.



Then added the BMR end links. I asked Hotchkis about a possible miss-match with the end-links and he said no way... He (Richard) said he had the exact same kit on both of his Gen 5's and he had zero issues....
