need suspension advice
 
hey guys, i have a 98.5 a4 1.8tq and i bought it from a guy who made a few mods.
I loved the car setup when i bought it, he really threw
down some cash on good parts,

the only part i am unhappy with is the ride hight, is is lowerd with bilistin shocks and h&r springs,
it handles great but i bottom out everywhere, esp if i have passangers, it doesnt matter how slow
i go, over bumps and driveways are a bitch.
what would you consider, i know i would have to sacrafice some performance for a smoother/ higher
ride, but what kind of setup would you suggest for something still sporty but more comfortabl?

some kind of coilover so you can lift the car and still handle better then stock

Factory sport suspension springs might be your best option if you're looking only for springs. H&R Springs sit only about .75" lower than stock sport.

One thing you might want to check into is if the Bilstein shocks have adjustable perches on the body. If they have adjustable perches for the lower spring perch, then you may be able to simply raise them up a little bit without purchasing anything.
