yeah i'd say some sort of coilover setup cause then you can just adjust the firmness.

tein s tech springs and adjustable shocks. you'll get a moderate drop, get rid of most the wheel gap, a bit sharper handling but it wont bruise your ass going over uneven roads

whoever suggested coilovers for a smooth ride is out of their tree. the softest setting on any given coilover will be significantly stiffer than your stock suspension, not to mention the far stiffer spring rates.

does Tein make their gold drop springs for the CL? those are supposed to be significantly softer than s techs.

...now, if i were you, i'd get KYB AGX's and either Eibach Pro Kits for a tiny drop, or Sportlines for a more noticeable drop. AGX's are still pretty soft, at least in my experience. i kept them on the hardest settings constantly on my 240.
