Default Better ride from coilovers?

Hello everyone... I'm currently ridding on Espelir springs w/Koni yellows, Bridgestone Potenza RE050's and was wondering if I could get a better "daily driver" ride from a set of coilovers? I like the lowered look, and wanted to see if you guys have had experiences of going from springs/shocks to a stiffer matched coilover? Because I'm all ready feeling every crack in the road with my set-up... maybe a different tire would help?

Aren't koni yellows adjustable? In that case, the only "real" difference will be in the spring rate on the coilovers vs the springs.

yeah I have the Koni's on all the way soft, but I thought sense some of the higher end coilovers have full body adjustablilty which lowers the shock body not just the spring perch or the piston shaft travel.,might be a less harsh ride over the rough streets than my Koni's?? Anyone...
