You should *definitely* take that 850 you are considering out for a test drive over some nice bumpy roads and decide for yourself if the ride is too harsh or not. I have bitched about this for awhile on the board, but as David pointed out, nobody seems to have any idea how to make the ride less harsh, only harsher (stiffer), which is incomprehensible to me.

In the next few weeks I will probably go ahead and swap out the front OEM struts with Monore Sensa-tracs and see if that makes a difference at all. If not, then as far as I know there is nothing that can be done about the ride.
