Default suspension help

I have tokico struts and tein s springs. the roads around here are pretty brutal so the ride sucks. I have searched and cannot find any answers that i am looking for. I want to stay lowered is the eibach sports any better and is the eibach pro kit a good deal better and if both of those are no good any suggestions i have no clue about suspension? ill be keeping the tokicos on there thanks

alot of the streets are cracked the pot holes are big but not deep and are avoidable. maybe i was exaggerating by saying horrible but they are pretty bad

you aren't going to get a good ride witih that kind of drop if you keep the stock struts. They aren't designed for stiffer springs OR reduced ride height. They will bottom out easily, blow, and make you have even worse ride and handling. Now you have to pull them, buy coilovers, koni inserts, or tokico illumina struts and do another install and alignment. Do it right the first time and get Mopar, KW, or BC coilovers if you want to lower more than what the Mopar springs will do.
