Lowest Drop That's The Most Comfortable?

Hey guys,

 

Didn't know if I should post in here or cosmetics but....

 

 

I have a 96 855R, with koni yellows, IPD blue springs, IPD track sway, TKI endlinks, Kalphenke LCAs, all new strut parts (spring seats, mounting plate, etc).  It has NEVER been comfortable.  Now, I know that with stiff springs and shocks, I shouldn't expect comfort.  But unless the road is like glass, my car crashes over everything.  It feels like there is no suspension at all.

 

I drove my buddy's car (96 855 Platinum), who has H&R springs and Koni somethings...not yellow.  His car felt plusher than stock.  It obviously didn't handle anywhere close to my car, but he is still on stock sways.

 

 

Like I said, I know there's a balance between lowering, handling and comfort.  That being said, what is the lowest drop I can do and still have it be comfortable?  Would coilovers be more comfortable?  I LOVE how low my car is with IPD blues (I wouldn't mind going lower even), but I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of height for comfort.  I'm also willing to sacrifice a bit of the handling for comfort.  So is there something out there that will give me a similar drop but way more comfortable? 

 

Thanks!
