It depends on the road. It's fine on a smooth road. I drove from mid-New Jersey to Long Island when I bought mine and the ride quality was not
at all an issue. However when I visited my cousin on Staten Island
a month later, I got a feel for the neglected pot-holed roads there
and my wife started complaining about the ride.
As long as the roads are fairly well maintained, The firm ride
of the Srt is fine, although you will feel any imperfection or
tar strip.

I got my adjustable Konis from Needswings back in 2012, I have them set to the softest ride possible to save my spine.
They are not listed there separately now so ask for a quote.

A lower lumbar support that you can get on ebay for about $25 makes a lot of difference for us old guys

I think it all depends on size and shape to the seat. I was in mine for over 25 hours driving home after purchase and only got a little lower back stiffness after 22 or 23 hours. I loosened it up washing the car when I got home. I have also had cars where my back was sore for days after driving only 12 hours.

I have spinal stenosis so my issue may not be the same as others. When I get into the car and get settled into place I am quite comfortable. After an hour or two of driving I need to reposition myself but there just isn’t room to change position. At that point I have to stop and get out for a few minutes. Driving with the cruise on helps because I can move my legs around. I am six feet tall.

I've had it for about a year and a half, longest round trip was about 450 miles. I still don't have my seat setting in a comfortable position, just manageable. The roads make 100% difference and most of the roads around here are in terrible condition. Once I'm out of the city its not so bad. 6'2 175lbs
