If you crank the dampener **** all the way to the right (full stiff) then you will feel more difference . I ran my car on the stock 16's with my Flex for a while and the ride was pretty nice. The ride gets quite a bit firmer once you increase rim size to 18's. After I installed the TRD sway bars my car got really stiff. The upside to all this is that my handling is pretty damn good now. Switching lanes is just a quick flick of the wrist and high speed turns are no problem

I'm sure you will enjoy your Flex just as much as I've enjoyed mine. The only complaint I have is that they are quite noisy with the windows rolled up, but I drive with the windows down most of the time so that's not really an issue for me
