....that's not possible.

For comfort on bumpy roads you want soft suspension.

For handling you want stiff suspension.

You could try to find electronically controlled multi dampening suspension, like a mag ride system... but that's some serious cash money.

Adjustable damping is what you want to look at.

I personally like Tein suspensions, ran with the Tein Super Street coilovers on my 2002 civic for 13 years. Full soft setting was genuinely super soft, and the hardest setting was hella hard. I had mine set to 6 (front) and 4 (rear) for daily driving, with 1 being the hardest and 16 being softest. Hard enough for the road to give me some "haptic feedback" (seriously allowed me to react faster, at least it felt that way), different settings to adjust for understeer, but not so hard that ride quality was sacrificed too much. It was still rather comfy with a race-like feel to it. I should note that they discontinued the Super Street coilovers, but they modeled the Street Advance series after them, with some improvements. They also have the EDFC, which allows remote control of the little valves on the strut tops, so you can change them from your driver's seat.

BOSE'S makes a "Electromagnet suspension"- its the ultimate in suspensions. its what some really high end vehicles use even
"Police Intercepters use it." keep's the vehicle glued to the road and riding like its on rails. with no body roll. good luck finding one for 2006 civic though if hifive can find a suplier it wont be a cheap modification.
