I driving a rio and also considering BC coilover My friend who was using it said very versatile and can tune to suit ur preference. But catch is, either u must know the setting or got some experienced tuner.

No matter what also bumpy.
Seated on BC coilover before on a kia ride and a Euro R, even the softest also bumpy.
Your friend might have get to the harshness already.
Not sure about experience tuner but you set the harshness yourself. Can trial an error and play with the setting or read up on it.
Try sitting on a ride with a coilover and you know what is all about.
Afraid bumpy then go for stock or little bumpy, lowering spring.

Understand your excitement but you also need the opinions of your CO or family member once coilover is install.
Totally a different feeling and normally they will questioned.
Saw numerous people buying coilover and sold off the next minute, saying they themselves or family members cannot tahan.
Just my advice.

Anyway if wanna lower, go for Coilover dun go for lower spring... I tried on my Forte... Tein lower spring... total CMI... -.- the spring harder than the stock damper... in the end my car bounce for very long before stablizing... feel like vomiting. coilover is bumpy bcos the damper stroke is shorter hence u need to have it harder. But good thing is u can adjust the hardness or change the strength of the spring. Comfort wise, stock is better bcos of the long stroke but fender gap too big is ugly IMO :x hahaah so i use coilover

I suppose coilover is the spring plus damper. Do you mean customised coilover? Those that we bought are also customised but for forte. Damper can adjust, so it's only the strength of the spring you can ask the workshop to change out to a harder or softer one depending on your butt feel I asked Fong Kim for a harder spring at the rear as it is very bouncy for the 6kg front and 3kg rear. I up-ed it to 6kg front and 4kg rear. feels alot better. So any suggestions for spring and shocks combi tats better than the stock ones in terms of comfort and handling as well?
