MSS never responded with a solution after I sent in videos. I had them taken off my vehicle, put stock shocks and springs back in and threw them away. I tried the all seasons as a last resort before trading it in and the tires did the trick. Still firm as the car should be, but they took the harsh edge off of the ride and I absolutely love the car now. It's not jarring anymore for passengers in the back seat over potholes. No noticeable change in the excellent handling, steering, or braking during daily driving moving from the summers.
Thanks for the tip. I read so many good reviews about MSS but rather not void the warranty on suspension, waste money and time if absolutely necassary. I was planning to swap out summer tires to MPS AS4s right away anyway on any new car since I had great experience with AS3 and AS3+ past 8 years on a lower profile 255-35-19s on my current S4 with lowered Bilstein Eibach setup. Sounds like a bit softer tires does the trick.

Cheers.
