Massive ride quality improvement

I was scouring old posts yesterday for ways to improve ride quality, and found Schu's post from more than half a decade ago: placing 50-100lbs of weight in the trunk improves ride quality dramatically. I also lowered tire pressure from about 37-40psi to 32-33psi, running on Grand Touring tires (General Altimax HP 195/65/HR15). The weight in the trunk really helped the rear end planted on the ground instead of bouncing around at every road imperfection. Huge difference in ride quality.
