I currently have coilovers(ebay specials)
and i hate the ride. I'm not looking to put a lot of $ into my suspension just want a better ride without the bounce and having to install a camber kit. I've heard the KG/MM springs are great for round the town and a little street. Can someone give me some helpful info?

KG/MM is just another way to measure spring rate, but it's metric (lb/in is the Standard version). It's like having an Inches exhaust, or Gallons fuel tank

You just blew my face off with that statement.

If you want your car lowered and riding without bounce you'll need to spend some money. I'm betting you have those coilovers on the stock shocks. That's always a big no no.
Get some Koni reds (yellows if you want to more eaisly adjust the damping of the shocks) and a decent set lowering springs from eibach. the prokit should lower front and back ~1.5" and the sportlines lower ~1.8".
Prokits = good daily driving springs with decent handling
Sportline = handleing first but they still feel good as a daily driving spring
This reccomendation is mainly for a daily driver. If you wanted to do some autoxing I'd reccomend some groundcontrol coilovers.
just my $.02
