It's all in the set up. Set up the cylinders to ride on springs all the time, and add accumulators to the hoses. That should keep it pretty decent. Lots of people run those mini coils. Those things ride horrific!! lol.
I had hydros in my civic and currently run air in my box. My box rides like a caddy compared to the civic. I think all I needed was some accumulators on it.
Props for going with hydros! I loved hitting switches when I had them. I assume you are going to run 8 dumps since you mentioned controlling all the corners? 4 dumps will only let you lift front/back, then dump each corner. What kind of pumps/dump/batt's are you going to run?

thats true if u run those import coils man your gonna be gettin tossed around hahh but im just gonna be running accumulators no coils so its gonna just be a super soft ride.. yeah accumulators and juice is the way to go the install is so easy too.. yeah 2 pumps 4 dumps 4 batteries im not sure if i want to run them in one bank of 4 or 2 banks of 2 (24volts vs 48volts) i did a ford fusion on hydros a while back and i though 48 was a little quick.. im also gonna be doing some hardline in the trunk
Hardlines in the trunk FTW!!
.... 
OMFG!!!

Personally i dont like it, but dont let other peoples opinions stop you from doing what you want with your car. Like someone already posted (i dont remember who) everytime someone does something out of the ordinary they get flamed. Good luck
hydraulics are done!!! check out my other thread for the build

one thing to add... since you have all the chrome you might want to do that lower grill mod that involves putting a strip of chrome on the horizontal piece in the lower grill.... with ur headlights fixed and that mod your front end will be complete
