2007 honda civic sedan ex general issues

So ive basically rebuilt my front suspension and cant seem to get a comfortable ride quality compared to my 2014 civic lx. from what ive read this car has some notorious issues and questionable service bulletins that probably should be a full on recall. (i.e. defective rear upper cntrl arms) can anyone make any suggestions for me on how to get the comfortable ride with decent steering being maintained? and if anyone is aware of anything remotely known to be a common issue with this car make/model/year please point it out im just now learning auto mechanics and find it fascinating however this vehicle from the stealrrship is discouraging.
