Default Looking To Drop My A6 without Sacrificing Ride Comfort

hey whats up. i have a 99 a6 quattro and i want to lower it a little because i think it would look great with the 19" rims that im looking at. i was wondering if anyone has a dropped setup on this a6 and has done so without having a harsh ride. I know that theres coilovers with adjustable dampning but im not sure if the comfort would be the same as stock. i've tried the eibach lowering springs and dampers but i swear i felt like i was driving a go cart. does anyone know if audi makes OEM lowering springs so this way the comfort is still there? thanks

If you lower it and put big wheels on be prepared for a rough ride. Doing the lowering will firm the ride and sharpen the handling. Larger wheels will increase the harshness.

Second that. Coilovers sound cool and are great for a track, but be prepared to get jolted on everyday roads. The stock sport suspension Audi uses is pretty nice. I'm keeping mine on.
