Default coilovers or not?

thinking about binning the spax adjustables i got on the cossie as finding the ride hard as fook would it be recomended to go for coilovers or prehaps going for some koni's?

what would people recomend for a good fast road set up that give great handling alone with a comfortable ride?

any info would be apreciated

coilovers even on softest setting tend to be fairly harsh.

Konis seem a nice ride


doubt it's possible to have great handling and a comfortable ride together though it'll always feel quite harsh in an old sierra i reckon
