The spring rates that come with the RA isn't that stiff. If the car is "dumped", you're probably riding on the bumpstops that's why it's bouncy. RA is a good shock that is still usable on the street. It shouldn't be so stiff like what you described (when setup properly).

Try raising the ride height and see what happens.

your car feels "stiff as a mothergrabber" because yo ride is "DUMPED".
raise it up a little(or much) and the ride will get better.

bouncing on the bumpstops is what you're doing.

How about your smartass post? Devoid of any sort of grammar and a cohesive question...

You should re-read your initial post. What'd you expect to hear when your best descriptions are "...the **** is stiff as a motherfacka..", "..the car is DUMPED..", and "..what setttings do u guys run yours on if u got some ?.."

First of all, RA's are more a track setup than street, and the spring rates can be made to order, so, I'd suggest you a. state your spring rates, your current dampening setting (i.e. how many clicks ff&rr), and how much you've lowered the car; then again, I'd suggest you'd get the car cornerweighted and aligned before you **** it up any more, but boulevard pimpin doesn't really require that...
