Yea, cus you aint getting better than coilovers for ride my friend. your dampers might be gone putting them through street use at that low of a ride height which would cause your rough ride. But other than that, thats the only thing i can think of.

I have Koni CO's on my street/track car. Of course, they have Koni springs. This winter I wanted to increase the spring rate in the front, but leave the back the same. I switched all 4 springs to Eibach. What a differance that made. Obviously, the front is going to be stiffer. But the rear has a much smoother ride, with better control. There's a big differance between a $5 Koni spring and a $50 Eibach spring.

I highly doubt that Koni's springs are $5 springs...Get hypercoil springs OP. Im sure that Koni's springs are very expensive as they are quality springs(a lot higher than Eibach if you ask me...). But I would talk to Maximum Motorsports about coilovers and ask them why youre getting such a harsh ride with coilovers.

I have Eibach Sportline springs with bilstien struts and shocks
and they are alot more comfortable and streetable than my old
coilovers were and they still gave me the drop I wanted.

^ I would ask what was your CO set-up in terms of springs/shocks. Bilstiens are a nice shock, but Sportlines are pretty stiff for reasons I mentioned above.
