either way dropping the car that low with coilovers or springs the ride quality will suck.

yo do realize that there is a limit to when you lower to an extent you start to loose ride quality?
You can only lower so far. If you want to "Tuck Tire" buy some bigger rims and tires. Why anyone wants to do that is beyond me. Not always does lower = better.
Think about what you want to get out of your suspension and then come back and tell us. From there we can tell you what will work
It sounds like you have some OTS POS Coilovers and you blame the settings rather than the operator.
What coilovers do you have. What are they set at. What is your shock dialed at? (If they are adjustable)
We need more to go on that I need to be sitting on the ground and handle like it just came off the showroom floor. You cant have both. Period. You sacrifice ride quality for stiffer springs/shocks.....you sacrifice your height at how aggressive you can drive and push your setup by getting a softer setting.....follow?
If not cut your gawd damn springs and drive into a wall

yeah ride quality sucks at the low of a height. i know.. i have coilovers and im pretty low. but, i like how the car looks, and the spring rates arent harsh enough for me to complain. i just really need some adj. struts and it would be peachy..

ok i have KYB GR-2 GR2 shocks with dropzone coilovers that are ajustable...you can tuck tire with them but they ride like ****...my friend said to get lowering springs because they ride a hell of a lot better...so i was looking around and they only drop up to 2in that i can find...so i guess is should scrap the springs because they dont ride that much better or give me the drop that im looking for...and by the way i just want it that low bc i like the way it looks...
The reason lowering springs ride better is because they dont lower it as much lol. I dont have any experience with "real" coilovers, but maybe try a set engineered to work together, like tein or Form & Function.
I have a set of Skunk2 lowering springs if you're interested.
I'm putting mine back to stock. I bought the prelude already lowered, but since it's going to be just a spare car, I don't need it lowered.
