KB Double Diamond SFC users inside please. . . . when i bought my car it came with these SFC. . . Is it just my car, or everyone elses too; but it feels like $hit inside, I feel every bump that my car goes over. . . I have installed new shocks/struts, LCA, Motor mounts, etc. . . and it still feels like **** inside. . . My car is lowered but thats the way it came from SLP. .. I guess what i'm trying to ask: When you put the KB DD SFC, did you notice that the ride was rougher . . .etc???
What springs, shocks/struts, LCA's, motor mounts etc.. have you put in there. Every piece you cange on the susp will make a difference. I have Eibach springs, Bilstein HD's and I don't find the ride too rough. All the KBDD's did for me was take away some body flex, they didn't change the way the car went over bumbs much.
the springs say SLP on them, i have KYB on all 4, Hotchkis boxed LCA's, Prothane motor mounts, energy Tranny mount, . . . . My car feels like i'm riding a horse carriage. . . .what other suspension parts can i get that will make the car ride smooth. . . (btw the LCA helped a lot, but still feels like 
So you installed KYB's as a replacement? If so did the problem remain exactly the same? The reason I ask, is I have had not so good experience with KYB's. I don't think they're terrible, however shock engineering makes a large difference in dampening (wasn't so obvious until I changed shocks several times).
yes i put KYB's in there instead of Bilsteins. . . . got'em reeeel cheap thats why i putem in there. . . . less than $150 thats why.. anyways latley i've been riding in other people's cars. . . . and mine by far has the nastiest ride. . .
It's probably in your shocks that's causing most of the discomfort. I would assess that the subframes connectors would have less to do with your discomfort, since you mention the discomfort is when you have to overcome road bumps. Also, the shock valving probably doesn't match the spring rate to achieve the optimal performance, so that might add to some of the discomfort.
Maybe a shock expert such as Sam Strano could chime in on this one.

Well to be honest, the KYB's suck. They are harsh and will do nothing but make your car ride like a shopping cart. If you care more about ride comfort then I'd look at a set of stock replacement shocks/struts like the standard Bilstein. Keep in mind that any of the lowering springs out there(yours included) will be rougher than a stock sprung car. However which springs and more importantly which shocks will make a big difference. If you want a real professional answer call Sam Jr. at Strano Parts, but this is my opinion.
