Re-engineering everything

Hoping that Rynberg will see this thread and post.
* Bought new from authorized dealer. Installed at dealer.
* Can feel a difference, but it goes from 'mush' to 'spongy mush' from 0-30 clicks.
* Didn't adjust coils, but verified that they are set a zero pre-load.
* Ride height is average, about a 1-1.5" gap between the tires and the fender.
When do you plan to install your Zeals?

I have the Function B6s, not the Xs, but...
Something definitely sounds very wrong. My B6s have "supple" damping at the 1 setting (1 out of 6), but you can most definitely tell the car is stiffly sprung and damped.
Give Rishie a call (I assume you got them from Auto Rnd).

if theyre way too soft then you might benefit from inducing preload on the springs.
these new Zeals are way different from the older Zeals that were amazing parts but at super high prices. a few years ago, a friend of mine had all aluminum super functions on his car and they were just incredible.
