Oh, wait, with no bump stop trimming. (so trim stops)
Oh, wait, with H&R's. (softer springs like eibachs or ZSP)
Oh, wait, stock shocks with 220k km (replace shocks with Koni or similar)
Oh wait, the stops are crumbling (so let it "settle" some more).
etc.
When the problems are all of the following together: old shocks, too stiff springs, old untrimmed stops. But then with 220k I'd imagine major bushings need attention as well as a lot of other stuff.

Well... car is 2007 and bushings are almost as new apart from forward ones that I have replaced.Car was mostly driven on higways so it looks like brand new. Inside and outside.Stops have been replaced when I bought H&R springs but I did not have idea that I have to shorten them :/ ...
I am going most probably for KONI sport or Bilstein B6 or similar
my bigest problem with high milage is automatic transmission and x drive it self ... Will have to renew those asap
