softer ride
I currently have a bone stock 04 black coupe, but for a daily driver I definetly find it too stiff. I remember seeing this crazy jaguar going over a bump at like 2mph : the damn wheels tucked in at least 5 inches while over the bump.. that was just amazing.
Are there any upgrades to the shocks/ suspension that make a daily driver's suspension <softer>?

I don't think you're going to see softer. Stock is pretty soft. The only thing I can think of would be something like Neuspeed Sof-Sports, but I don't think they're out yet (and may not ever).

Rep Power: 0 My girlfriend thinks the Tokico HP's ride better then stock.
I'd say they ride about the same as stock, but with WAY BETTER performance.

Rep Power: 310 ^members here claimed tokico hp blues were pretty stiff overall for the 1.5-1.7" drop on sports springs. =\
i say get a nice set of tires imo. we all know the OE tires arent good (mostly if your rocking the firestones still) and you can always find a better tire that has less road noise, better performance, etc.
