Default Bumpy Ride

Is it normal for the Megan Racing coilovers to have a really harsh recoil when you hit imperfections in the road. it rides well on smooth roads and around turns handling wise. However, i do not expect the same floaty ride as factory, howerever, its a little rough at times. please let me know if i am th eonly one with this problem.

most coilovers ride stiffer than stock, but i don't have any experience with megans. you're not going to get a totally brilliant ride unless you sit down with a suspension tuner and revalve the shocks for your particular application and preferences

What did you set the adjustment to, ie low, mid, or high range?
What ride diff are you experiencing; more specific opposed to the stock floaty ride. You know you can't have handling and comfort at the same time.
Did you change the height?

I set the ride height to approx stock settings. I am awaiting my rims to be delivered in a week or two. Not sure of the other settings because one of techs did the install. What are the settings necessary to not feel like if i hit a bump Im flying out the seat?
