Looking for a smoother ride! Help

I have bmr 1.25" springs and I love the look from stock height. I don't like the ride. It's pretty bumpy. I'm looking to upgrade to a smoother less bumpy setup. I was thinking about going to coilovers any help is appreciated.

How's the ride of coilovers to stock suspension on these tanks? Other platforms I've bought coilovers for made the ride stiff vs the smooth comfortable ride of stock......

I felt that my BC coilovers rode better than stock with the right settings. It's not a Lexus or anything but definitely a decent ride.


OP: make sure you have your bushings timed. I was able to get a little bounce out of my car when I had 1" Hotchkis springs. It still didn't ride as good as my coilovers but it helped.
