SQ5 suspension much too stiff?

I have no doubt there will be aftermarket springs made available for SQ5's to remedy the difference.

I really like the ride . It's definitely firm but not all harsh.
I'll add that my passengers have also commented on how comfortable the ride is. I've had both a Boxster owner and an Equus owner rave equally about the handling and ride - there's a couple of extremes for you.

Yep... a couple of in-depth reviews have stated that US-spec SQ5's get all the euro-spec SQ5 suspension bits EXCEPT the lowered springs (due to laws in the US requiring a vehicle reclassification trigger i.e. light truck vs. passenger car), and that is really the only negative if you want to call it what with the US-spec version of the car - it takes a bit longer to "load up" the suspension when taking corners given the higher ride / center of gravity.
I have no doubt there will be aftermarket springs made available for SQ5's to remedy the difference.

They did not just springs
There are parts of the mark 1BD and 2MT
