I would fully agree with the above. I now have 3 road going cars to compare and they are all different. I believe the main differences are not due to the springs/dampers but with how freely the rest of the suspension moves. My blue car runs 350lb springs all round and the ride comfort is superb. I put this primarily down to the full rose jointed suspension that moves freely with no resistance. The other 2 cars have conventional suspension urethane bushes. These bushes have an amount of resistance to movement and this is what causes the bumpiness of the ride. I was so unhappy with the BC's on the ratlook car that I pulled all the suspension apart and looked at all the joints and which surfaces needed free movement to each other. I made sure that these points were well greased and retained the grease. This transformed the car and it now rides great. I still need to do this with the red car as this will improve it further.
