I miss my PSS9's. On full soft, they were super comfy 
I'm looking for something similar and nice riding, my ride now is pretty stiff and bumpy.... i'm thinking if I replace the rears with something softer it'd ride better?

I used Bilstein Sports on the back with mine. They softend the ride
and unfortunately, the turn-in too... it was nice on road trips
maybe you could find a set of rear PSS9 dampers and adjust them the way you like it. You could always crank 'em back up for a track day or whenever

I think if you swap a different setup to the rear it wouldn't match the fronts?!>
I know the rear H&R is pretty stiff but I actually think the front is stiffer... The rear just has pretty much no weight in it so it reacts differently and has a more hollow sound to it (at least with the fabrics out... : )
Maybe trade your H&R coils with someone who has PSS9's or Koni's w/ dampening adjustments. Just a thought.
I always really digged your sig photo & the wheels. Any info on sizes/types of wheels/tires/spacers and other photos? 19s? That's an ABT front lip right or rieger?

Update: After swapping back to 17's the ride is ok... still stiff, but ok
I think as a weekend car (which the car is usually) it's ok, and the car handles great especially around turns (have rear sway bar too)....
but as a daily driver and 19's, it is pretty stiff...
