Softer suspension kit than OE

Dear members

I am in the market for a suspension kit.
What suspension set up do you find softer or more comfortable ride than OE, yet performs well during aggressive drivng?

I am looking at the new unit from blisten pss9. Any feedback or other brand suggestions? Should I go stock blisten from MR and eibach springs?

I switched from OEM setup on my 03 to Bilsteins and Tein H-techs. It is definitely not as harsh of a ride, but it may have lost a tiny bit of that sharpness. I'm still happier after the swap.

The cheapest way would be to swap the shocks with stock MR shocks and keep the stock springs. Personally I wouldn't go with the eibach springs, too much of a drop that will most likely kill the Bilsteins. You'll be surprised how much of a ride difference just changing the shock makes.

From what I have heard the Bilstein PSS9 seems to be a good set of coilover (no personal experience) that would give you a little more adjustability. That way you can set them up of the street or the race track. But from what I have read don't expect the same level of performance as race preped coilovers.

in my opinion, the Bilstein PSS9's are the ultimate street/autox/track set-up. Compliant on the street, and can stiffen up and handle the twisties very nicely.
