Default Softer ride with 18"

I have found my vettes ride little too harsh when driving on goglestone city streets. It makes everything rattle even at slow speeds. Is it just a trade off with 18" low profile tires or should try rubber bushings instead of polyurethane(energy) ? I have 480"lbs front springs and matching rear I dont think the are too much for low weight mid year cabriolet corvette. My shocks are non adjustable bilstains. Should i try adjustable konis with soft inpound ?

The only thing that I would think that might help you out is going to a higher side wall on your tires I assume you a 35 or 40 series might try 45 but I don't think that you will see any real benfit your best best wold be to switch to a coil over or maybe it's time for new shocks?? hope that helps ya
