Is it just my fto or the suspension for the fto is really hard? even on such small little rocks the car bounces like crazy , i always hit my head on the ceiling of the car =.=.

Yeah, the stock suspension on FTO's is usually pretty stiff.

If you find that it's an extremely harsh ride, have your shocks tested.

Have you got coilovers or sftermarket shocks. If the answer is yes, then they may be Japanese spec. These are always rated harder than the australian ones and for our roads, they are way too hard.

I hear ya

If their coil-overs, they should have some adjustment knobs, turn these anti-clockwise fully and that should be the softest setting. I've done that to mine and their only just bearable.
