an open question to any and all of you who have installed aftermarket springs/shocks or even those who just know the market well: is there any suspension kit or upgrade available that is significantly lighter (less harsh, bouncy) than the stock setup?

i know some of you will feel the need to flame me for wanting this - that's fine. the harshness of the ride is the main reason my wife doesn't like the car, so i thought i'd see if there are any aftermarket options available. anything would belp. let me know? thanks!

Sell the s2k, buy a Mercedes SLK. Hey, they are sexy and have nice soft suspension.

Or trade in the wife.

The Tein CS units are said to be for comfortable cruising. A tire that is less performance oriented will also soften the ride somewhat. Of course the only sure solution is to go for a car that is designed for a smoother ride.

you might want to check your springs to ensure all spacers were removed
