Is there a adjustable coilover that will give a good street ride

Do you want to keep it level in the rear...like when towing or carrying a lot of weight? Or do you want a full lift?
If you just want to level the rear, maybe you should look into some TRD airbags to go inside the rear coils.
Otherwise, if you're looking for a nice ride DO NOT buy Sway-A-Way coilovers...they're teeth chattering stiff.

I used to have the Downey coilovers up front. They're better than stock, better than the TRD coils and will serve you well on road. Even offroad too. They're fairly soft for an adjustable coilover but firm enough for your street rod.

I had mine with about 2 1/4" of exposed threads from the bottom and loved the ride on road. It felt much "sportier" compared to stock, I never had issues on road with the ride. I always feel like they can definitely handle corners better than my stock set ever could.
Off road I was looking for a little more compression out of them, so I tried the top out spacer and was able to lower them to only 1 1/4" of threads showing and still have the same amount of lift I had before.
Now they compress all the way to the bumpstops(maybe 1/8 off, but way closer than before) and still feel great on road.

If you do find used ones, they may even be the softer than 675ppi springs on them.
Just be aware that SAWs time as flavor of the month is over, so you may get some negative comments about them from the "current events web wheelers"
