You're saying, correctly, that the *result* of replacing the rear OEM springs with the Amazon rear springs is a stiffer ride.
I'm saying, correctly, that the rear OEM springs are notably stiffer as I have physically confirmed previously.
If you take a quick look under the car with the Amazon rears installed, you'll notice what I did;
practically ALL the first stage is preloaded and compressed. This is a result from too soft a
spring. A progressive spring needs to retain some of it's first stage compression in order to
function as it was intended. The resulting stiffness you are feeling is akin to bolting a solid piece
of steel in place; stiff but unforgiving.
I think we're on the same wavelength but talking about different things.
