Default Suspension help

I am looking for some help with my c4s which to my u dear standing has the same suspension as the turbo.
When I got the car it came with bilstein sports (b8) which I am finding waaaaay too stiff for me.
I am wondering if anyone has experience with the koni fsd vs the bilstein hd dampers?
The car I a daily driver and will be driven in winter so not looking for pss10s as I don't want to lower the car.
Any suggestions would be

Pss10s are height adjustable and you can control the dampening. It might be a good option.

I have a stock TT suspension I will sell cheap. The top mount bushings are flattened and need to be replaced, but the struts and springs are in good shape. It had 48k when I replaced them. I went with the X73 because stock was too soft for my tastes.

I just installed the PSS10s a few weeks ago and the car rides much better than the stock suspension - even the wife likes it more. I went with the PSS10s over the HD's because of the ability to lower the car and have some adjustment in their firmness. For the extra $600 for the 10s over the HD's I would go with the 10s - no brainer. Also, the PSS10s will not automatically lower your car if you don't want to change the ride height. They do have adjustable spring perches if you or a future owner wants to lower the car which to me makes them much more desirable than the HD's.

Do either of you know if the softest setting on the pss10 is softer than the bilstein sport or hd?

I have my PSS10s set at 2 and it is softer than the stock suspension. I cannot speak to the HD's or Sports but my wife likes the ride much better in the turbo compared to my former BMW M3. It is very comfortable and I am considering turning the **** to 5 or 6 so you should be happy with the ride.
