What did you try, what ride height were they set at, what spring rates were they running, and how did they have the shocks set?
And of the above done wrong could ruin the ride quality.

TCKline S/A, 400f/400r, .5 from full soft feels pretty damn good to me!

Go back to stock sway bars, KW at a reasonable height or like zemperaye says 350/400 TCK at even 1/4 turn of full soft will work well or buy a different car.

KW V2s at full soft are much firmer than stock, although not a harsh.
