Check the tire pressure, mine was real high when I picked it up. The suspension also settles a bit as you drive the car for a while. If not, the Tien springs are supposed to give a better ride. The stock "sport tuned" suspension is just a way to put cheap, hard springs on there.

You got used to it. Mine was a very choppy ride, and i posted the same ? about a month ago. Since then, i have installed the Tein H series springs, and love the ride now. It lowered the xB about an inch to an inch and a half, but the ride is so much better. I have pic thorugh the link below of before and after.
