Default Anybody with Skunk2 lowering springs please chime in

I just installed some new KYB AGX struts and new Skunk2 springs. Now my car rides really stiff. I feel every bump in the road and then some. Its mostly from the rear I think. Is your car riding the same? Are these springs just that stiff that it almost feels like there is no give what-so-ever? LMK your impressions. Thanks

They were pretty rough on my 88 std and the 89 crx but on my 94 coupe there not to bad....but still pretty stiff but livable...

They feel so stiff I'm worried about them blowing out my new shocks. Since my shocks have dampening adjustments should I set them at the firmest setting?

why not soften the agxs... they should be able to hold that spring rate.

I wasn't sure if that would be a smart thing to do. Softer struts but harder springs didn't sound good for the life of the strut.
