if you are on stock suspension anything aftermarket will make the ride rougher. But the best would be maxspeeds or H&R.

H & R are the closest thing to stock

Jelly suspension

Well, you can go "jellying."

Go to junkyard, buy that jelly stuff from 68' Pinto and you'll have the Lincoln feel to max.

I would recommend H&R and Tokico; the ride is close to a stock SE, and the drop is about 1.5 inches.

I've had many setups on my car:
Tokico + H&R
AGX + H&R
and now AGX + B&G

Your ride will also depend on your wheels and tires.

Doesn't matter what suspension you put in your car. Your 18" wheels and tires are whats causing your car to feel every bump in the road. You have no cusion between the road surface and your suspension.

You think your ride is too ruff with stock suspension and 18". It will only get worse by lowering it, no matter what suspension you go with. Don't do Eibachs, for sure.
