Different strokes for different folks. Suspension is something you should really research and consider. Do you want low? Performance? Comfort?quality? You can't have it all so you'll need to prioritize. If you just want an answer buddyclub but what do I know.

Check out bilstein or any showa made coilovers js, spoon are examples. The lower you go the more you comprimise comfort. Look for lower spring rates for smoother ride

Tein Street basis is bumpy as you say. However, do remember that coilovers are really a race-inspired suspension. Therefore, if you want low you sacrifice comfort to some degree. If you want comfort you sacrifice low. I found the street basis to be a good balance between those factors/reliability/cost.
