I will likely have to buy new coilovers that are rated comfortable for DD and street driving soon here since I'm not comfortable with just zipties. I know some people do that, but I figure if brake brackets exist....there's probably a good reason why its solid metal haha.

I don't know if it was asked/answered already. But did you get adjustable endlinks for the ASB's?

And what exactly was the sound and feeling you were having? Jittering, popping over bumps, clicks and pops during turns?

I'm not sure you are ever going to find a kit "rated comfortable" for the street. This will purely be determined by the potential spring rating at a suggested height, the lower you plan on having the height, the more convoluted and difficult this is going to be. For potentially "comfortable" ride quality, you'll need about 3-4.5 inches of compression travel from static ride height. This will be a frontal spring rating between 350ib/in and 700ib/in depending on the spring length and ride height. The lower the rating the longer the spring will need to be and higher the ride height. This is just a base. It can become extremely more complex and more expensive from here if you truly want to ride in supreme comfort and lower ride heights.

Your coilover kit can be upgraded to accept these modifications if you don't want to spend another grand. Any either case, new springs is going to cost between 300-800 dollars.

Unless a shock dyno has proven the dampers to be intolerable, they can probably be salvaged. good luck.
