Default Any good way to lower ride height and not stiffen suspension?

My last C4S had the PSS9's with TRG swaybars and the ride was just too harsh (even on the softest setting) for the horrible NY City roads I drive.

But I think the car sits too high.

Is there a good way to lower the ride height while still maintaining the stock suspension compliance?

My guess is that the answer is no. Assuming that, what's the most compliant lowered setup out there?

Stock euro springs should do the trick. Hard to believe PSS-9s gave you a worse ride, mine was much better than stock. Could it be the TRG sways that roughed it up?

Absolutely was the sway bars not the PSS9's, especially on rough roads....

There is a factory spring called the 033. Has the ROW030 ride height, but the stock spring rate. I suspect Carnewal can get it for you.

Thanks guys - damn sway bars. It's not like I ever even tracked the car.

The poor ride was a major reason in selling the car - according to my wife I "ruined" it for her. Oh well - live and learn.
