Its never gonna ride like stock but adjusting the dampening will help. depending on where you ride will determine how much you need to adjust it. the less pressure you run the higher dampening youll need to be smoother at ride height.

what psi do you have the fronts and rears at? also the damping on the struts really help. my car rides perfect and i cant feel anything. everyones setup is different. you just have to find yours. just keep adjusting the knobs til you get it to where you like

well it rides hard anywhere above 60psi so i drive around 50 psi but still a rough ride

thats alot. common psi is 40-45 in the fronts and about 55-60 in the rear. thats probably why yours is so rough. once you get to like 70-80 on the easystreet, the bags dont fill anymore, it will just get stiffer and stiffer. try riding at 45 and 60. i have mine set up to 45 in the front and about 53 in the rear

well w/ my drift front, im fine. im running 225/40/18 tires and at 40-45 psi up front my kit doesnt touch the ground. its about 3 inches from the ground but it never scrapes. my rear i can slam all the way down to like 10 psi the front i only do to like 20. its impossible to get it to zero psi w/ the drift kit, without crushing your kit.

in order to make it so your kit does not have so much pressure but still sits on the ground, you can make some brackets for front and back and attach them to the frame somewhere, make sure they are strong enough and make them to the height you want, later
