H&R And Bumps

When I bought my car, the previous owner had H&R springs which I left on. I've been noticing it for a really long time, but never got around to ask anyone. Everytime I go through a bumpy or rough road, it literally feels like my car is breaking because I hit them so dam hard, even if I'm going at a slow speed.

Do others have same experiences, or is there something wrong? :/

zack - do you know if the struts/shocks were upgraded with the springs? If not your dampers are probably toast. Look into Koni Yellow or Bilstein B8.

Ya update us on what was upgraded along with the H&R maybe it's not the springs. But, I have seen many reviews of people saying they are really harsh yet never like the way you put it.

Thanks for the replies guys. Nope, I believe he only replaced the springs without touching the dampers. I have stock springs with me that came along with it. Is there any way to confirm that they are a toast like you mentioned? Not looking to spend too much here.
