Ok, now I know the zed is a sports car, but im struggling to get used to the ride, i guess coming from boring soft audis this is to be expected.
Ive read plenty of posts singing the praises of eibach springs or powerflex bushes inproving the handling, but will they help smooth out the ride without compromising cornering and grip etc, and what would you say is likely to do more to help as i cant afford both ?
I still want to enjoy the feel of having a sports car, jsut not the shake and rattle everytime i hit bump in the road
 
Have you got rid of the run flats yet?

Neither of the two options you've mentioned will smooth out the ride. Its a car with a firm setup and the only thing i found to improve that was regular tyres.
 
+1 on the above. I changed to regular Tyres and noticed a big difference. I then changed to eibachs and noticed a slight further improvement but doubt you would see little if any difference just changing the springs and bushes without first eliminating the primary cause of the crashy ride.

By changing the Tyres you will notice the car feels alot better on the road also and the tramlining which is very noticeable on the runflats is eliminated.

Hope this helps :)
 
oh yeah sorry forgot to mention that i have already ditched the run flats, and yes they did make a big improvement, im loving the car, and its just this that annoys me about it, if you think the springs or bushes wont make much difference then i wont bother, id like some improvement but dont want to spend £300 for nothing
