Upgraded to Stance Coils, going back to OEM

I recently got some Stance GR+Pro SSD coilovers installed on my car, but after 3 weeks of complaints from my wife and daughter that the ride is "too bumpy", I've decided to give in and revert back to stock.

Has anyone here had the same experience? I'm really bummed since I love the drop I got from the coils and personally don't mind the ride quality.

Or the Tanabe Pro 5 series. Spring rates on the Tanabes is 10/8K and they ride very smoothly even at fairly stiff dampening settings.

Tell your wife and daughter that they don't get rides if they're going to complain. Form > Function...LOL. But yeah, take the above recommendations. I'll throw the BC racing hat into the ring as well for a coilover with comfy ride.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm researching all my options from springs to coilovers. Haven't made my mind up yet. I'm leaning toward getting Eibachs or Tein S-Techs plus Tokico HP shocks and struts for a more comfortable ride.

I will be posting a FS/WTB thread by the end of this week.
