Not true. Having been rolling on Tein SS for the past 2 years, they are by far more comfortable than any lowering spring/shock combo that I've ever felt and ridden on. This is simply because with a true full coilover system, the spring in terms of spring rate is perfectly matched to an appropriate valved shock unit. This allows for optimum handling performance, and a fairly comfortable ride if the aren't valved too stiff or have too aggressive of a spring rate. When set to the softest of 16 settings, my Teins are pretty close to stock feeling as far as the shock valving goes. The increased spring rates of them of course give an initial bounce feeling, but say like long distance freeway driving, and you can't tell the differance that much.
