What plays a major factor in this equation? I drive my car daily and it seems the road noise, vibrations and wind noise is getting very annoying in my car.

Obviously the Tires and Shocks are the first thing that pops in my head regarding road noise and vibrations. How much of a factor are coilover?

Any advice on the current setup you guys have in relation to how the car feels when you hit a bump and the loudness of the road.

Thanks

Coilovers make you feel EVERYTHING, and it's a rough ride. I enjoy it because I can feel the road, but at times I wish I was back to luxury. So definitely throw out coilovers if you want a smooth ride. Probably some Koni Yellow struts with some new springs would suit you well. If you're looking at tires, the bigger the wheel typically the thinner the tire, therefore less cushion. So you might want a smaller wheel/bigger sidewall tire to help improve comfort.
