Default Need better suspension for my CRX

I have Neuspeed sport springs and Tokico blues on my CRX now, and the ride sucks. Its not so bad on the highway or well-paved roads, but going over any bumps or dips it feels like the car is gonna fall apart. I also have a squeak coming from the front driver side of the car.

I don't know if the shocks are blown or what, I've had them on the car for about 5 years now. My question is, what is a good comfortable suspension for a daily driver? Would full body coilovers ride comfortably? I'd be willing to spend the $600 or so if it meant the car would ride comfortably.

My car is lowered about 2" right now and I like the stance of it, I really don't want to be slammed or anything. Is this as good as it gets if I want a lowered Honda?

Thanks for the suggestions!

I have H&R Race Springs with Tokico whites and your car looks about the same drop as mine. I love the way the car feels and handles. I have YET to bottom out on these springs, and that's even going over some deep *** pot holes and dips.

The shocks are going to be a huge factor. Get some adjustables if you can. Also, inspect your bushings on both front and rear control arms(upper and lower). If you replace the bushings and properly preload your suspension before torquing everything down it's almost guaranteed to feel like a new car again.
