Either dump the A-Spec and get some different coil-overs or swap the A-Spec springs with another spring.

I have the TEIN SS setup and I was worried about the same thing you are. I couldnt be any more happier with my choice and don't regret the purchase at all. My ride I can't really tell the difference between my stock suspension and the new suspension I have in now that's how good it is.

Hope this helps.

I also have Tein SS.

I had Tein H-Tech springs. The H-Techs were good but the Superstreets give a much better ride and are height and damping adjustable. It's like night and day

Sports are definetly NOT stiff. More feel - yes. Less lean, roll and dive - yes.

On smooth roads they feel better than stock imho. On bad roads you feel all the imperfections, but they are not harsh. It's hard to describe how you can feel more bumps and still not be harsh, but that's what happens.
