Default Comp. Engineering drag shocks harsh....

I have full umi rear suspension with stock springs and comp engineering 3 way shocks set at 50/50. Is there another setting that works better it is harsh as all hell on the street with these shocks. It feels as though the suspension is solid with no pivot or absorption of bumps.

suspension so far is:

lca and reloc. brackets
short t/a
adj phb
umi drag bar
front is stock with sway removed

If thats just the way these are would a strange or qa1 be better when adjusted?

If I wanted smartass responses I would go to the honda boards. Next time please bring something constructive as many people run these fine on the street and I have ridden in 2 of my friends vehicles with these shocks and they ride 100 times better than mine. One being a 96 t/a and another being a fox body.

Are they set correctly? I'm running Summit 3 way adjustables set to 50/50 with BMR lowering springs and it's only harsh on big bumps.

I'm pretty sure still need to double check them. Pretty much any little bump is pretty harsh and you cant push the rearend down at all by hand so maybe i adjusted them wrong or something. The stock blown shocks they replaced you could push the rear down almost 2" using ur pinky lol.
