It is stiff, but not too unbearable. But it doesn't have an high rebound, which creates the gut crunches going over road imperfections. I didn't mind the harsh ride, but it wasn't something that bothered me too much. I only changed to coilovers to adjust ride height that corresponds with the wheels and tires, as well as aesthetic parts.

I don't think the suspension is all that bad, I am used to it by now.

it's really not as bad as people make it out to be, it can be jarring at times but i've always had cars with sorted suspensions so it's not bad at all to me.

it feels like it has aftermarket suspension from the factory. i've changed to coils now and i probably should have just gotten new OEM shocks instead. i didn't mind it at all.

It's much stiffer compared to other sport sedans and you will be in for a few jolts when you hit road imperfections. It was a big change for me coming from a L-Tuned GS430 which was lowered on springs. I'm used to it now and have no issues.

it is stiff for those who aren't used to it but get some coilovers and that will solve some of the stiffness or just upgrade to a 2011+ oem suspension

My 2008 is plenty stiff. Regular road imperfections aren't too bad, but you better learn to scan/memorize the road for any potholes or you will take a beat down.

i honestly prefer the stiffness.

i've been scanning the road since i was 16 lol, all my cars have had some sort of stiff suspension. but ya good advice if you're not used to driving in this manner.

I have an 08, my brother has a 2012....

The 08 is SIGNIFICANTLY stiffer

I came from an 04 subaru STI. I actually feel the ride is smoother than any STI with factory suspension I've been in. I've also got a z32 300zx that's stiff. And my Ducati is a stiff bike. The stiffness of my ISF is welcomed in my stable.

I have a gs400 on kyb/l-tuned springs and my 2012 isf is really not that much different. I notice stiffness the most on stuff like expansion joints and some larger dips otherwise the F absorbs bumps very well and is a really nice ride.

Compared to my '74 Challenger the F is like a Lexus (so to speak) I get a sore back if I drive my challenger for more than a half hour.
