Default Bumpy in cold weather

Might seem a bit of a silly one:

I only drive about 9miles to work so car doesnt really get 'warmed up'. However in this colder weather the car seems really bumpy and firm on the country lanes/poor roads i drive on.

Damper oil is gonna be thicker but has anyone else noticed? Or is it just me. Car used to be really nice on bumpy stuff now it seems a bit crashy. Cheers

I'm noticing this at the moment. It's normal due to very cold temps and shite roads that break up in this weather

It's more the ride than the handling Im thinking of.

I am on pretty new T1Rs (maybe 3k miles)

I had this and was adament that the blocks were still in as it was driving harder than my Lotus Elise did so had it checked out by Honda yesterday and they said it was absolutely fine, they did do the tyre pressures tho as they were 2 psi out, made a slight difference but not huge.

Honda said they all feel like this this time of year so i wouldn't worry about too much
