So your thinking shocks are the first option?

Somewhat off topic (maybe) but I notice that those forum members that install coil overs always seem to comment that the ride has improved. This seems counter intuitive considering that most of these applications involve a 1.5" to 2" drop which, in my experience, usually makes the ride choppy and harsh. Now back on topic. Are our shocks known to be a problem? Is improved ride with coil overs the result of better shocks (I'm not interested in a sloppy ride) or is something else going on here and can any of this in any way be used address my concerns about bump steer?
