OEM type-R...

Outside of s-techs with the shocks on 1 or 2, you won't find much softer parts while keeping a decent drop outside of cut oem springs. Just get your *****-self some pink fluffy seat covers and call it a day

Why would you want to change out the whole suspension? Koni sport shocks can be made as soft or stiff as you want. Beyond that, all you need to do is buy a set of softer springs from ground-control and you'll be lovin life again. Just call GC & tell them what sort of ride qality & ride height your looking for, and they will sell you the correct spring-rates...

Then you can sell your old GC/Eibach springs here on H-T and recoupe some of the cost...

Easy as pie...

Use your Konis; get GC custom rates close to stock (150 / 100).
