Default How to soften KYB/L-Tuned Setup?

I am currently running KYB shocks with L-Tuned springs and would like to soften the ride a little. What do you suggest?

If I were to replace to springs, what would you recommend changing to?

OEM springs, otherwise Espelir springs. But you'll have to go with new shocks because the KYB wont hold up to the new drop.

There aren't any other springs out there that have the same drop as the L-Tuned that are a little softer?

BTW, along with this setup, have have the TRD Sways, STB, and lower chasis brace...its the combination of everything that has made my car have a rough ride (IMO).

With the sways , STB, chassis brace, it will make the car stiffer with less body roll... put back your stock parts and see how it rides, and from there you can see about changing springs or shocks...

I got rid of them years ago.

I put my OEM 16's back on, and the ride is manageable...but the 18's cause the ride to be too stiff. Maybe I can find someone willing to trade 18's for OEM 17's.
