I'll trade you for my TL-P, the suspension is not as stiff as the TL-S.

Check your tire pressure, make sure it isn't too high. Your springs and stuff might need time to settle since they are still new. After about 2 months, my ride was not a bumpy as when it was new. And now after 7K, it is really smooth.

Get yourself a regular TL or ES300.
Don't come crying when it starts leaning and rolling when you take it to the twisties.

Get rid of those tires. Go to tirerack and search their ratings for the tires of the same size with better ride quality. And run with lower air pressure. Get 205/55 series if you're really desperate.

I've got to agree with FlyingPig. You should've known what you are getting into when you decided in favor of TL-S as opposed to TL. Different tires and lower tire pressure are well and good, but why did you spend the extra money? Just for stop-light racing? Sorry, I don't mean to sound rude. But you've got to make up your mind
