Default REALLY rough ride on aftermarket suspension?

Anyone else have a REALLY rough ride on aftermarket suspension? I have the aerospeed coilovers (Don't ask) and it seems like there is so little spring travel that the springs are binding and bottoming out. Hitting pot holes feels like a brick wall and the suspension acts as if it is bottoming out.

My guess is that the coilovers are too low and poorly designed? I have them raised as high as I can go and it is better than it use to be but by no means good.

aftermarket suspension, and especially coilovers will always be harsh. there's no coilover that will feel like stock. and depending on how low you are, it probably is the camber arm hitting the chassis when you go over pot holes, not the suspension bottoming out.

I have Dspec shocks/struts and have never bottomed out.

Yeah, I am running really crappy coilovers that are way too low. I am thinking about swapping to just some normal lowering springs though. I know aftermarket suspension is always a little stiffer but this is like NO SUSPENSION stiff.
