Pretty common problem, mainly down to the over damped dampers.

If you adjusted the damping to the softest, there will be too little rebound force to control the spring's recoil and the car will feel really floaty and uncontrollable...

Sadly, that is down to the coilovers design specification and there isn't really much you can do to change that.

You use the long allen key thing with a purple top and turn it fully anti clockwise to put them to their softest setting.

Then you drive down the road and assult your kidneys with their fierceness.

D2`s are hard as, not much you can do about it lads sorry.

Thats one reason why MeisterR coilovers had its damping readjusted for the UK roads...
Assault on the Kidneys are NOT a good thing. :haha:

I got different Tein springs, lower spring rate and it softened them up a bit at the rear.

What are the spring rates on the Meister coilovers?

its not the damping on d2's that is very hard, it is the spring rate
they are ideal for track but far to harsh for british roads
remember that japanese roads are silky smooth
maybe try and find softer rated springs that fit,
