I've heard guys say it's possible to improve the handling of the car (presumably by tightening the suspension) and at the same time, softening the ride. This seems counter-intuitive to me.

Is this actually possible? I mean is there a way to improve on the stock suspension while at the same time softening the ride on the lady-passenger's toochus? What specifically can you recommend to accomplish this and please help me understand how the heck this works.

I do think you can improve the suspension without stiffening the ride but I don't think you can do it and make it softer. The Eibach Pro Kit will drop the car, cut down on the squatting on acceleration and the dive on braking without hurtin the ride.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

I was thinking about going with some coilovers, so I could raise/lower as needed on occasion. What would you recommend as far as coilovers for improving the suspension without being any harsher than stock?
