With that being said, I also got my Ksports from Roger's GB, and the rear is pretty harsh - much harsher than the fronts. I have my rears on full soft and the fronts on 1.5 turns and it seems to be fairly even with no "bucking" over bumps from different rates. It's still pretty stiff for daily driving, but I've gotten used to it.

SR - mine seems to get better with more weight in the car, so maybe throw a box in the trunk or some sand bags or something and see if that works to smooth it out for you.
B, your ride sounds exactly like what I'm feeling and "bucking" is precisely the term I was looking for. If I could be sure of what I have rate-wise in the rear, I would consider going to a 6. Guess I could email Roger & ask him to verify.

Something else---I still have the back deck/speakers/rear seat out so I'm definitely hearing more noise than normal. It was doing this yesterday with 4 OEM shocks & springs so I don't know how much weight that was. Maybe I need to add some ballast like a F1 car.
