Nex SS Coilover (suspention) need better ride

Spring and shock setup. Coils are a bit harsh because of the reduced travel.

reduced travel yes...but i have (i know it's a different vehicle) integra on skunk2 full coilovers...mine ride NICE AF, better than when i had the BCs on my max...BUT...it's not slammed either, sitting right above the tire...he could adjust the coilovers higher to obtain a better ride.

Ok.

Smooth/no bumps doesn't usually imply coilovers. Just sayin...

Larger profile tires usually help. Are they adjustable?
