Nova, c20xe and 'comfort' can never ever be used in the same sentence.

but the most bearable is something with eibach springs at the right poundage

or decent budget coilovers - avo or Gaz- with a slightly lower poundage spring rate

Are these suitable for Sundays?

I wouldn't call Avo or Gaz (Gaz more so) budget. FK and Jov are budget (and shite)

What kinda thing do you use the car for? What kinda ride do you want? Do you want adjusted?

I don't need it to preform like a race car, I can go for coilovers but imagine they are gonna kill any comfort, was wondering was there some kind of uprated standard suspension available to cope with a heavier engine

The best non coilover suspension set up is yellow big piston Bilstein shocks with springs rated to what engine you fit

Anything is an upgrade really. But if you just wanted a more uprated ride like them above. Or something with Eibach springs, as they made uprated but not crazy spec.

All you need is a coilover with the longest spring for required ride height. Oh that and a spring rate low enough to give comfort but never fully compress!

...Now you get an idea the value of development.
