Talking Get rid of bumpy ride

I have a 99 3.2 TL with 18" rims. The ride is kind of bumpy and I wanted some ideas on how to fix. Would Tokico HP Shocks do the job? Thinking about getting H&R OE Sport or H&R Sport springs. Town is kind of bumpy with constant construction and potholes all over, so I think I might go with the OE... dont want to slam it too low.

(also getting a rear SPC Camber kit because back left one got bent.. I watched a damn taxi run into back left of my car and just got cash from him because it just looked like a little body damage and I wasn't worried about it... $400 parts and labor on the camber... that sucks)

Thanks for the feedback.

i don't think lowering the ride is going the make the ride any softer..

you're tires are probably thin..

Make sure you have atleast a side wall of 40 on your tires atleast. Also, dropping your car is not gona help you get the ride softer. If you want, and can afford it, get some TEIN SUPER STREET COILOVERS. There fully adjustable. Adjustable height and spring rate. You can drop your car and set the spring rate to be very soft if you wanted to or about middle which is sporty but smooth. Full coilovers are your best bet if you want the best possible ride you can get. If anything, you can get some TEIN H-Tech springs which will give you a much smaller drop while keeping the luxry softness to the ride i believe. Up to you. H&R is good also.
