Default bad ride

I have tom's advox coilovers. It doesn't feel anything close to stock at all. I felt every bump on the road, and it kinda bouncy too. Is it maybe the car is sitting too low? The bouncy part is mostly doing the rears and the bump feel is the front... How do i fix this to make it close to stock feel?

Does the coilover have adjustable damper?

Dude there's nothing wrong with your coils, mine's about the same. The road we took might not have been bad enough to test it but overall it was smooth and car corners really well on them. I did notice a few sounds in the rear every time you go over speed bumps tho.

it also depends on what rim/tire combo you have. if your sidewalls are very small it makes a huge difference.
