It has taken until now (10 months) to finally sort out the terrible ride quality of my car.
But today I have sorted it once and for all.
It was a combination of coilovers with terrible instructions and a stupid design and me not noticing what the problem was.
I had the front dampers wound up far too high so with the weight of the car on them they were fully compressed meaning no suspension travel. The tyres were taking the brunt of everything, so the car was bouncing all over the show. I am surprised I haven't damaged anything as it has been like this for months.
I had tried everything else including having the suspension bushes checked by a local garage.
Half a day later (once I realised the problem) it now drives like a 'proper' car rather than a manic space hopper!
