Just twist the nob on the very top of them anti clockwise as far as they'll go. If thats not enough you can reduce the preload on the springs - that requires a special tool.

If they're still too stiff, pull 'em out & send 'em to a Cusco accredited shop & have them revalved & resprung to lower spring rates.

Did you buy them off Ebay & just whack them in?

Definitely try turning the knobs on top of them anti-clockwise as bennoz suggested, thats'll soften them up a fair bit. My coilovers were hell to get used to when I first got the fto until I played around with this setting, definitely made a difference in terms of comfort.

Still not gonna be a luxurious ride. But if you can appreciate performance, then who cares
