Help me improve ride quality
I have an 08 xb with 70k miles, trd lowering springs since day1, and a set of 225,45,17 tires. I have been noticing my ride quality is not that great. People always complain when riding in my can. I especially notice it now that we bought my wife a new 2012 altima. It is a night and day difference between her ride quality and mine. What can I do to improve and keep it lower than stock? I will upload my biggest pet peeve about driving my car to YouTube and share the link in about an hour or so.

The high pitched rattle was a bunch of coins lol. But the rest was my car. I will try tightening the tophat bolts tonight an if that doesn't work it's going to a trip to the shop to see what they have to say.

so everything is tight. My dad is a mechanic and will be in town in two weeks for christmas and he said he will change my struts out for me. What strut/spring combo has the best ride quality? I just want a smooth quiet ride not a high performance cornering machine. Also where should i buy them? Thanks for the help.

Important to have good shocks. Try bouncing the corners of the car and see it it actually bounces or just returns to stable with maybe just a little overshoot. If it bounces at all, the shock is gone.
Depends on how you define "ride". Most people want a nice relaxed smooth ride and the OE deliver that.
