Coilovers too tight... Need advice
I purchased a set of H&R Coilovers (regular) and I can take turns at speeds I never thought possible according to the laws of physics. However, I feel every damn crack in LA (and not the good kind of crack). I'm looking for a spring/coil combo that is much softer but still "sporty". Anybody have any ideas?

Well, it's a function of your wheels and the suspension.
Aftermarket suspensions are usually pretty good on smooth or undulating pavement, but the shocks are often too firm to give you a smooth ride on any kind of broken pavement, like the cracks you mention.
If you really don't like it, your best bet is to go back to stock. I had Eibachs and Bilsteins before this. The Eibachs were very soft, and the Bilsteins were not. I still felt broken pavement, just as much as I do with the coilovers.

hmmm.....know anyone with 17's you could swap with for a couple hours?.......
Just to try them out.
If the 17's cure your woes, I think I'd rather have the coilovers with 17's than the 18's.
