Its just one of those things you have to put up with when lowering your car. It will never be as smooth when lowered.

It depends on the stiffness of the springs. You can get lowered springs which are the same stiffness as standard springs (which means it wont be any rougher lowered), but that just means you'll bottom out alot over bigger bumps.

Matching the shocks wont make it better as i understand, because your problem is the suspension being too stiff. Matching shocks for those springs means the shocks will need to be extra stiff. So you wont 'bounce' but you will feel every bump as a bone-jarring shock...

lowered car + bumps = normal thing.

My civic before was lowered on kmacs, felt every bump up my arse (not that i minded)

You may need better shocks, or remove ur TV, its weighing u down too much lol
