Coilovers don't fix this. Did you replace your struts?

The only thing that will make the ride smoother is to raise it up and use softer spring rates. If you're lowered quite a bit, the car will either bottom out, or the springs will be very stiff to keep it from bottoming out. Either way the ride won't be smooth at all unless the roads you drive on are super smooth.
