man, i think i really messed up.
my friend with a xA had ordered some JDP HKS SF5 springs for the scion and it didnt fit his so i bought it off him dirt cheap and i am running them now with stock shocks,
my ride quality SUCKS.
people in the back seat ALWAYS complain, and the front is really bumpy also.
i want to get coil overs but im not sure that im gonna get the same drop i have, heres a pic of my car,,,

im tucking 16s!!
i know i could also buy aftermarket shocks but would my ride quality increase more if i got coil overs?
what are the best coilovers? thanks in advance,
danny

those springs may not be the rate compression for our ride...try just buying new springs.

I agree! But you might have blown shocks/struts with that low of a drop. Did you cut the bumpstops in the front?

After seeing that picture I'm convinced of two things:
1) I like 16s better than larger wheels. They look great.
2) That girl does need to roll over.

And the 2 guys standing behind the box aren't even noticing her! I'd be like miss do you need me to spread some suntan lotion on your back!? Or um maybe your front!

I have Goldline springs on my box. The ride is MUCH better
then stock, but it's only a 2.0" drop front and back. I couldn't
match your drop, and believe me, I want to!
Your shocks and struts could have leaked from that low of
a drop, check them for oil oozing out of them!
Coil Overs come in many varieties, and are usually performance
oriented, hence a bouncy ride. Maybe someone here knows
a set that would have a comfey ride but still allow you that
3" drop.
If they weren't so expensive, I'd be doing coil overs now too!
