Have u tried checking your tire pressure? How many miles or how long have you been using the springs? You need to give it time to settle before you get yourself an alignment.

How many tread life do you have on your tires? Check it.
Maybe you need to change it since your at 22k now with oem tires?..,for a DD this should be close to be just about time to be replaced?
If your riding with Bridgestone OEM tires they are one of the noisiest and harsh ride ever. I changed mine to Hankooks. Man Im like a fat lard on a hammock.

Try checking this options before you change to coils or Koni's and see if it does makes a difference.
Good ideas. I will check the tire pressure. I've been on the springs for maybe 3 weeks, 500 miles. Still using the OEM Bridgestones and yes they are loud and harsh. They still have some life left but are on their way out. I was thinking about v12s but will probably go for PSS instead.

Pretty much same feeling for me. Hitting a bump, especially mid corner really takes away my confidence. Seems to really upset the balance of the car, like the car doesn't stay glued to the road. Suspension doesn't seem to really soak up any bumps.

I had an alignment right after the springs were installed. The rear camber is pretty off and the springs have settled since I did the install. I will be installing SPL rear camber arms and SPC toe bolts and re-aligning in a couple days.
