Mine don't ride badly at all. They're firm but they're not bouncy in my opinion.

step 3. car can't drive forward cause the tire is compressed between the wheel and fender, so you cut that shit out.
step 4. bang the fuck out of fender till it makes room.
step 5. Put wheels back on, drive down to muffler shop with open downpipe looking like a badass!
step 6. GO DRIFTING YAAAAAAAAY
RINSE AND REPEAT

I hammered out my fenderwells, lowered another 3/4 of an inch in the rear. No more rubbing! Well it rubs when I have a full tank and another person in the car...also tucks rim in the rear with a full tank and another person in the car. I'll post pics when I get some good ones

What kind of coilovers/springs?

In most cases excessive preload will raise the spring rate on the springs but it gets really unpredictable. Obviously this doesn't apply to swifts or hypercos, so please disregard if you're on either springs. But usually it seems as though having a few turns of preload is ideal for ride quality.

AMR Engineering coilovers with 14k/12k Hypercoil springs.

I also have custom shortened shock bodies up front so I don't have to droop the springs like I did before. Can't complain about a lifetime warranty.
