Well, I don't have an '05, but my '03's is not soft and bouncy.

Geez, what kinda car are you coming out of? Try the Tokico D-specs. They'll firm your ride right up.

I'm coming out of a Honda Prelude SH with Koni Shocks with H&R Springs. Man was that a great setup

Are you being sarcastic, or did you come from an even stiffer car like an EVO?

Not bouncy, but it is definately far too soft for my tastes.

the suspension set up is nice....but at high speeds it is too soft....during high speed cornering there is a lot of body sway....which i don't like

cool! i used to have that same exact setup on my SH too. then i swapped it out for the Tein Flex's. if you want stiff, get the Tein Drift Spec, Cusco's, Kei Office, or the SR's.

I found my Coupe's suspension to stiff enough to provide spirited driving while yielding decent comfort when called for.
For me it was perfect.

Compared to my '91 300ZX which has Eibach Pro Kit springs and KYB AGX shocks, my '04 G is a little too soft. Mods will be made in the future to stiffen it up some.

Do you have the sport tuned suspension pack?

I prefer the softer ride personally..

Its a luxury car for peat sake, its not suppose to have a stiff "feel everything" suspension like a 350z or vett. I hear far more people complain how uncomfortable the "day to day" driving gets with those cars. The G is a perfect balance for me, comfortable, but good enough to take any fast turn or lane change. You can always replace it anyway...
