your pretty much S.O.L. Unless you can some how get softer springs or decide to run smaller wheels (and tires with more side wall)

LOL, I did too.

18's to 15's....

Tom is the dampening adj. on those B+g's. If it is then you should be able to change it. I don't know about B+g's sorry

the b&gs are self dampening, btw. I would change the rims and tires first. 18's aren't great to drive around with and 35's! that is way too small. You need more buffer. If you want the look then deal with the bumps if not, start changing things.

i got B&G and they ride nice. and i got 215/35/19 tires.. rides awesome (i like the stiffness the shocks at full drop only have a 1/8" damper so i can hit a 2" pothole and the wheels only go 1/8" in the well.... idk i love em. nice and stiff. but sorry u cnat adjust them at all. if u raise em tho they ride a lil better. casue the shock has less compression on it.. well all i can say is buy hayame, or tein SS if u want a nicer ride or buy better tires.. i had pirelli p7000 35 series and they rode like *** felt every pebble and then i spent alot more on p-zero's run flat all season etc etc etc 400 tread ware and now it rides like a benz... what kinda tires u runnin
