Not necessarily just you. Go back to the 9/14 thread "fg2 from jason...". Folks who did bushing and/or fg2 shock adds had various comments regards stiffer ride feel. I could swear I read, but could not locate, one complaint that the resultant ride was harsh enough to have them consider removing the bushings. There is also a thread about a squeak from the bushings that can be solved with a litlle lubricant.

The concensus opinion is any move toward a more racecar-like suspension performance comes at the expense of decreased luxury-ride feel.

Had my bushings done a few weeks ago, I feel no difference in the ride.

I think the car feels a little stiffer, but I really mean a little tighter. I don't think the ride quality is significantly changed, it's not even noticeable very often and I certainly wouldn't call it "compromised."

I'm four or five weeks into my bushings, and I sense no discernable difference in ride.:yup:
