Default Tein Flex

I have had the Tein Flex coilovers on my 06 for almost a year now, and I must admit, they are a little too bouncy for my taste. Maybe its because its too low? I've adjusted the dampers to the softer setting and its still a little harsh for me. For the people who have this setup, how do you like it? what do you feel about it?

Which setup can offer same/better quality with more of a stock/less bouncy feel?

I know KW V3 is pretty much as stiff, how about:

Tein Comfort Sport Cruising Master
Buddy Club Racing Spec
RSR

Thanks in advance.

your car looks very low, try raising it up a little. and a softer setting may be causing the bumpiness from the uncontrollable rebound. try making the setting stiffer.

I'm assuming by bouncy you mean the ride quality is harsh. When you go over a bump the suspension's rigidity shakes you up? Have you tried softening up the rear? That might help. I'll let others buzz in with their opinions. I know a lot of people have this suspension and they're happy with it.

Do you track your car? I have the v3's but they're not installed yet. I think I'll wait until I get rims to install them. Have you adjusted them so that they're "super stiff"? Maybe you don't need that kind of stiffness if you mostly have it for street use.

Mines on the stiffest setting. No bouncing problems here and I think Im as low as you are judging by your picture. To me it feels softer than stock ride . I might lower it a 1/4 in more later on.
