OUCH! I'm not sure if my teeth are chattering from it but it seems like my brain's bouncing around!

Is there anything I can do to help get a midly softer ride? Are there are certain type of tires or PSI that I could still maintain traction but get at least a mildly softer ride?

I was looking at Goodyear ComforTreads but I was unsure if the traction would counter the whole idea of getting more control with an upgraded suspension. I thought perhaps a lower PSI (like 30?) may help with a softer ride but again, I don't want to lose too much traction.

What about, sometime next year probably, upgrading to coilovers?

Any ideas? I was quite shocked after feeling how things changed.
