I have a 2002 sc430 and it takes every bump on the road like it's a huge pothole. Is this normal for the 430, and has anyone have an answer for fixing this without compromising the driving experience?

get rid of the run flats and install new shocks...plus provide mileage.

If you don't have runflats, try to over inflate the tyres. I find that my ride is better at 2.8 bar (40 psi) all around. My front shocks are shot, though.
