    I think you missed the point....the ride isnt "softer" but is more compliant... There is a big difference but again... each to their own

    I just spent the last 5 years riding around in an MY08 WRX and although it was a great car the suspension was soft as *****.
    Since I've had the Scirocco it hasn't been out of sport mode. I am loving the hard solid as a rock ride.

    Really constructive comment. Guess this is why I won't be doing this form again.

    It comes with the territory, hate to say it but you seem to walk into a lot of things blind

    If it's too harsh to your liking, spend on coilovers mate. Seriously... The dampers are the culprit, therefore changing springs won't make the stiffness go away. In fact, they make it worse. Handling aside of course, I'm saying this from your point of view.

    A KW DCC kit would make a huge difference... when set up correctly and that is the trick... setting them up...and the Cost... not everyone wants to spend another $3K on their suspension...
    Depending on which springs you change too there is quite a difference in initial harshness and compliance, it certainly DIDN'T make it worse in my case... and it isnt all about Dampers...
    Making generalizations is of no help to anyone...

    Woops my bad. I think different people would have different opinions about springs.

    That said, +1 for the KW DCC kit as a good solution. However spending 3K on suspension is not for everyone.
