I did that. See first post.

I'm beginning to think it is indeed the preload that was compromised, but I'm not sure about the two turn thing described. When I tightened the two collars you could barely turn it IIRC. I'll look into it when I'm installing turbos.

My car is lower than any 3S I've seen in person (I can't fit my FLAT hand into my front fender without jamming my knuckles and can barely fit three fingers WIDE into the rear fender; I kept it higher in the rear because I'm FWD). However, I don't think this attributes much to the problem.

Unfortunately, I cannot compare this to my stock ride with ECS since I never had ECS. I have ridden in an ECS car before and I don't remember it being this bad.

The handling is definitely top notch, but it sucks that I have to slow down when taking an offramp just because the car is bouncing so much on the bridge I fear I may lose grip on the steering wheel.

Fortunately, this car will not be my DD for much longer, I just wish the suspension was a little more comfortable. I'll usually sacrifice comfort for performance, except when it comes to safety, and bouncing all over the road doesn't always feel so safe.

Thanks for the comments thusfar. Any other opinions or comments are welcome.
