Default Help me get rid of the bounce and harsh ride!

Alright so i bought hatch and it is already dropped on cheap ebay coilovers with stock shocks- i absolutely hate how it rides right now. Im on 16" rotas and it rubs all the time. I am looking to spend about 500 dollars on a setup that is very comfortable but will allow me to handle a little better then stock- i was thinking about splurging with going with some Omni coilovers or skunk 2's but am a little worried about the ride quality that i will get.

not sure but wen i got the skunk2 coilvoers for my CRX the ride was very harsh and stiff but it handled great..yea
if u want something thats a nice ride for DD then i would say go with a spring/shock combo. coilovers aren't the best unless u want stiff for performance...coilovers always have stiffer ratios because they need to compensate for the shock travel because it can go so low..

like i siad...i tink with springs and shocks...u'll get a softer ride then any of the coilover sleeves options...i rode in my friends skunk2 in a DA and it was stffer then another friend with eibach sportlines, tokick illuminas...

and as i stated above...with my full skunk2 coilovers i hated the ride cuz of the stiffness..with my new sportline springs/tokico shocks combo i love it a lot more..def not as big as a suspension upgrade from the skunk2 but i wasnt looking for superior handling...just better then stock
